Short Crowd

 Short crowd at trivia last night. It did not keep us from having a good time. There are so many choices to make on the activities that it can sometimes be hard to choose just one. The Alamo Angels came in first again. I must admit there are some stellar players on that team but surely there are some players out there willing to clip those "Angels" wings. We will find out next Tuesday the 23rd at 6:30 in the main hall. 

I found a volunteer to take Butch's place on keeping score. Reenie Stinson did a great job, She will be a great addition to our trivia family.

Here are some pictures that Candy Dewey took. I appreciate her help too.

Team SmartyPants

Team Alamo Angels

Reenie is our new scorekeeper

Butch gave Reenie a bit of instruction before skipping out on us.

Bring .30 cents.  Wednesday night is Hoss Collar night, bring a ONE DOLLAR BILL, no coins PLEASE.  We start at 6:30 PM and be there by 6:15 PM. 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.

Ladies Pool at 1:00 to 3:00 pm Monday and Tuesday.

Darel Palm would like to have a meeting with the woodshop monitors after the park meeting in the hall Tuesday.

The Busy Bees will be selling breakfast Burritos before the Park Meeting Tuesday $1.50.

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.

Take Care and Stay Safe!!

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

****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!!

The top teams for the first time playing this season were team Terry Thibodeau & Keny Patrick...  and team Barb Brooker & Bob Nance...  The next scheduled Sunday mixed doubles will be November 21st at 1:30 start time...  We even had a new Mixed double player - Bob Nance-   welcome.
