No Saturday night Hoss Collar is planned this year unless someone wants to Host it.  It is easy to host so if you would like to please contact Dan or Linda Lang. Both morning and Hoss collar are very easy to learn, morning involves more strategy, and Hoss collar teaches accuracy. Both are lots of fun. Come and join us.

Remember Worship service is Sunday at 9:30 am. We are still in need of people volunteering to help with the service. There are sign-up sheets on the church board on the South wall in the hall. There is a sign-up sheet for cookies too. Be sure to thank the ladies that make the cookies.

The collection plates are near the North & South door. We will not be passing them due to the virus.

Darel Palm said if you want to learn about the sound system, he would be willing to teach you. ***He also said that the monitors are coming back and the woodshop will be open. If it isn't you can call one to help you.

Marsha Schmidt, First Responder, you need to fill out the new paper and put it in your red envelope that is in your check-in bag. Put the old one in your car glove compartment.

Wednesday, November 17th there will be the in-park craft sale. It will be in the North-East corner of the hall. If you have something you want to sell bring it to sell at 9:00 to 11:00 am. The Busy Bees will be there with quilted projects and Kathy Cropp will have her famous cards to buy. Bring your money and shop. This is not used sale things.

Once I am here

 and in Trophy Gardens it makes it easier for me to post things. There are so many things taking place in the resort that I cannot possibly keep up with all of them. I am very grateful for the help that Betsie Brown with bits and pieces gives us. And if you send me something of interest I will be happy to post it too. Now that I am in the resort I do post things that are happening to Butch and me on a personal level and if you wish to check in on us too that is AOK. You can find us at www.brooker3.blogspot.com. 

3 of us women of Trophy have decided to make an early morning walk a part of our regular routine. It is so much easier to keep it going if you have someone who is expecting you to show up at a given time and will miss you if you are a no-show. So if you see 3 women walking at 7:30 AM there is a good chance it will be us.

Best wishes always,

Barb Brooker

We need prayers for Joan Taylor. She is in the hospital. Let's get the prayer wheel spinning for her.

From the park meeting today:

Lynn reported that there are: 205 people in the park, on 119 sites.

With 47 pets.

 **** When done playing cards in the hall, be sure the lights are off. 

****The hall will be closed on Saturday morning from 9:00 am until the meeting for the RGVQG is done. 

****You need to wear your badges in RV facilities and at activities. 

****Watch your speed. The Speed limit in the park is 10 MPH. We don't want speed bumps!! Do not leave junk like tires, wood, and trash at the Main Shop. You need to get rid of that yourself.

Fran Adams talked about Air Med Care. There will be four “Meals On Wheels” again this year to raise money for the park membership. One will be in December, January, February, and March.

Mike and Monika Reis made mini waffles before the meeting today. They were very good. I had an apple one with whipped cream on it!! There was quite a variety to choose from.

Darel Palm told us about saving all pop or beer cans for the woodshop. There are places to put your used cans at the garbage dumpster, in the hall by the kitchen window, and by the air pump just past the woodshop. Leave the tabs on the cans and they will be taken off and saved for the Ronald McDonald house. They will also take the steel cans such as soup cans, etc. Please rinse them out and take the bottoms off to help Charley out. There is a trailer behind the woodshop to put things like broken microwaves, hot water heaters, or anything that can be taken apart and reuse the metal in them. NO TIRES or unusable junk!!

Take Care and Stay Safe!!

Another of Trophy's past members has passed away. Don Jorgensen of Lanesboro, Iowa passed away Tuesday. Cards can be sent to Debbie Ausborn, 308 Sidford, Lake City IA 51449

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: 

***There are 163 people in the park on 96 lots with 63 pets.

***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!
