Community Service … Leona Fails

Merry Christmas to all our AARP members.  We have an opportunity to make it a better holiday for many children.  Sacred Heart is collecting toys and books for about 6,000 kids.  We can help them meet this goal by bringing new unwrapped toys and books to our December meeting.  Sacred Heart is also collecting new and used sleeping bags for adults that really need them.  Donations are always welcome.

President … Ken Schieck

October is the month to wear orange and black-not for the San Francisco Giants (they will miss Bruce Bochy) – but it is the month of Halloween; let’s wear those colors to the general meeting on Oct.15. This is the first of three meetings relating to who will be on our Board in 2020; we will nominate members for the Board at the October meeting, elect them in November, and install them in December.  A sincere thanks to Helen Soukoulis, Nancy Tepperman, and Paul Levine for stepping up this past year to fill important Board positions.
