A SPECIAL THANK YOU
This month marks nineteen years of publication of Golden Spirit. Thanks go to the kind people who have contributed to its success: advertisers whose ads allows the newsletter to be free; writers; collators, mailers, typists.
The newsletter is valuable as a source of information of programs, services and activities at the Center. Without their assistance it would not be.
A thousand thank yous!
Frances Rigol – Director
Althea Adelhelm - Editor

RETIRED MEN’S CLUB NEWS
The first fall meeting will be on Tuesday, September 14th at 9:30 A.M. The Men’s Club swings back into action and that’s also the day the Teddy Bears are having their picnic. We have been very fortunate the last couple of years to have outstanding, interesting speakers at our meetings. We are in the process of lining up our fall agenda and I must say it’s shaping up as very promising.
Meetings of the Retired Men’s Club are held on the second and fourth Tuesdays of the month. In September, meetings will be held on the 14th and 28th at the Center. All retired men and those that wish they were retired are invited to attend. Coffee and donuts are available and we are always pleased to welcome visitors. You do not have to be a member to monitor a meeting. Come on down, have a cup of coffee and check us out. Dues still remain at $3.00 per year or 2 years for $7.00 and life membership is available for $14.37. We are still working on our plans to attend the Bull Fights in Spain in April.
