In Memoriam Please Make Your

Wishes Known

It’s so good to see you all

again. This last week we

were quite pleased to

have our first in person

meeting in a while. Next

week the Women’s Aux-

ilury will be having their own first meeting in many

weeks. As much as we want to spend time catching up

with each other we have one very important piece of

business to attend to. Worthy President Jim has tasked

our Chaplain to plan out our upcoming officers elec-

tions. After talking with the members present we will

be having our elections next week on June 25th. We

encourage everyone to come out and have your voice

heard in planning out the next year for the Club.

Good to see you again

Brothers, it’s been much too

long since we’ve been able to

meet and see each other in per-

son at the Club. As part of the

updates from the CDC we’re

now able to meet together in

person at the club. Management

has secured the proper cleaning

supplies to make sure we are

following the guidelines for local

business to open back up. This

last week we had our first Busi-

ness Meeting in Months. Thurs-

day July 2nd we will not be having a

Business meeting but instead you are

invited to a social afternoon get to-

gether to catch up. Please don’t for-

get we are required to wear masks

and maintain social distancing. Doors

will open at 1PM. More news about

upcoming events in the near future

once the upcoming year’s schedule is

planned out.

Fun Zone

Police Officer Bryant found a perfect

hiding place for watching for speeding

motorists.One day, the officer was

amazed when everyone was under the

speed limit, so Bryant investigated and

found the problem. 10 year old Dennis

was standing on the side of the road

with a huge hand painted sign which

said "Radar Trap Ahead." A little more

investigative work led the officer to

the boy's accomplice, another boy

about 100 yards beyond the radar trap

with a sign reading "Tips" and a bucket

at his feet, full of change.

Sunshine Report

Helen Bitter, who has been a mem-ber of the club since 1972 has died on 6-9-2020. She was an extremely sweet lady. She left her two sons, Kenneth, and Bill behind.

Darlene Quick had an angiogram and a bypass surgery in June. She is home now and doing very well. Her daughter helped her during the time she was healing, and she would like to thank all who sent her cards and for the plant sent to her.

Mary Ellen Lung fell and broke her ankle back in April. She is at home and wearing a boot. Her brake has healed but her sprang takes a little longer. She is being careful and still healing.

Carol Ede has moved to Paintbrush. She will be in room #217. If you want to call her, her cell number will be active (559)284-4290. She is on lock down and cannot come to

our meetings at this time because of covid. She is doing well and will still be sunshine girl if she is able.

June Birthdays

This month celebrating their birth-days are Doris Bischel, Terri Natali, Renee Perkins, and Gloria Pitman. We hope you ladies will make a spe-cial time to celebrate your birthday. Make time to enjoy the things you can do. We still need to be careful when going out in stores, restau-rants, and doctor offices. Be sure to wear masks if you go out, it is con-siderate to you and to others. If you are sick, then just stay home. Hope you all stay safe and stay well. As long as the men keep the club open, we will meet according to the calen-dar of events.

Happy Fourth of July!

Newsletter is short due to no news from lack of meetings in April, May, and June.

Until we meet again, God Bless everyone!
