The Mothers Day Drawing is this Saturday! There is still time to stop in and get your tickets . $5.00 for ten tickets and six gifts to select from. Stop in to see how nice these gifts are. Jewelry, purses, a basket of books etc.. It is worth your while to take a chance and if you don't win you have made a nice donation to the clubhouse... so its a win win. Thank you to all of the people who donated gifts for this fundraising event and to Rebecca T for organizing and getting it going.. Also to Lois J. for diligently selling the tickets when she is at the Clubhouse.
The other big news is that this Sunday May 12 we received another anonymous donation for an Mother Day Ice Cream Sundae Event. So, after the 1 pm AAMeeting and following the dinner... We will be serving Ice Cream Sundaes with all the toppings. Even if you don't attend the meeting or eat dinner with us... stop in and enjoy a sweet treat. This is a last minute event so spread the word ! If it is nice out Sunday we may have a cookout, now that Jose and Willie Mbrought all the chairs and umbrella outside for us. Thanks. Heidi A. will be cooking again so you can be sure the food will be delicious.
On Saturday May 18 we will be holding a Celebration of Life for Jason W. Heidi A. has volunteered to cook and Carl C. has donated a turkey and ham . Jason's family will be there.

You might want to look around for Danny L.'s painting as well !!
The purple Clubhouse Wrist Bands have arrived and we are passing them to remind people to check out our website and sign up to keep on top of all the changes activities and meetings going on at the clubhouse.

Suzanne W. and Heidi A. want to plan a few activities for the clubhouse. So if there are things you would like to do be sure to let us know. Sue Ann W. volunteered to set up a tap dancing class and so far 6 people are interested. She assures us she can teach anyone to tap dance so lets hope we don't prove her wrong!! The Recovery Store is also coming along nicely. Thanks Becki B. , Lois J and Diane G. Last week we made another $15.00 and people were able to get some things they needed. Another win win !!
This past Tuesday Brandi A and Melissa cleaned the clubhouse from head to toe and have volunteered to do that every week. Thanks. Sue L is grateful for the break . Brandi told us she wants to give back to the clubhouse for helping her out. Thanks to her sponsor for suggesting that and to Brandi for following through. Melissa was also happy to help . Stop in and see these guys on Tuesdays... maybe they will put you to work!!
