I have three names to be added to your Birthday and Anniversary calendars. Birthday's: November 11th add Vicki Pratt, and Kathy Ringer November 27th.

Ralph & Judy Brill November 21st. This will be their 57th anniversary, 

Jake Jacobson is doing very well after his heart surgery and is finished with rehab. One more doctor visit in December. His wife, Barb developed an irregular heartbeat. After testing she was told today it was due to the third vaccine shot and the cardiologist has seen some of this. So now all is well. It looks good right now for coming to Texas after Christmas. Thank you for all the cards and prayers. That really helped.  Barb

From the park meeting Tuesday. Lynn:

***Office hours will be 9:00 am to 4:00 pm weekdays

8:00 am to 5:00 pm Saturday

9:00 am to 4:00 pm Sunday

***Worship will be at 9:30 am this Sunday.

From JD: Thanks for your patience with the water being off. The ground is shifting and the coupling breaks.

Activity Director Stephanie reported that: 

***Mixed doubles pool will be on the 1st and 3rd Sundays at 1:30 pm. Ladies' pool days will start on Monday and Tuesday next week. 

***Pictures for a new photo directory will start to be taken. December 9th & 10th will be the first dates to have your picture taken. Register with Stephanie. When you get your picture taken you will get a free 8” X 10” picture and a photo directory. Remember pets are part of your family so include them in your picture. The photo directory is very worth having. I have about 8 of them and I use them all the time. 

***Hand, Knee, and Foot will be Wednesday and Friday at 7:00 pm in the Sun Rise Room.    

***Lot Sales are this Saturday. See “Band” and see which lots are selling.        

***First Responders are up and running if you need them. They were here all Summer for those that needed them. 

***Bean bag starting November 9th at 1:00 pm in the hall.

Russell told us that Bev McEnaney will be hosting the first Pizza Party on November 12th at 5:00 pm at Peter Piper Pizza in Alamo.

Card Bingo is Friday at 6:30 pm. Bring $2.00 to play.  10 cents a game.

Barb & Wayne Dunker invited everyone to come and listen to Ron Moshier playing. 3:00 pm on lot 362. Bring something to share and enjoy the music.

Barb Brooker: Trivia is starting next Tuesday.   Went for a walk this morning and within a 5 minute period was asked when trivia would be starting by 3 different people. So I am saying the start date will be Tuesday, November 9th at 6:40 PM in the main hall. Odd start time one might say and the reason for that is Jeopardy! is on week-nights at 6:00 PM so I can still watch it and make it to the hall for trivia. I am in need of a volunteer helper. Interest in playing the game is not a requirement. Picking up the entries and keeping the scores require some simple math skills. A cheerful disposition is a must!

From Barb Jacobson: this morning was depressing with Jake still in the 5th day in ICU. Mayo couldn't get him out of a-fib. Then Trophy prayers did their job. The doctors decided to shock him and got him out of a-fib, later he walked quite a way,s and now we are out of ICU into what they call step-down ward. Still, pray that he stays out of a-fib. Thanks to everyone for your thoughts, cards, and prayers. Barb

Susie Kritta's address is 192 Jade Trail N., Lake Elmo MN 55042.
