May ~ June 2009 NEWSLETTER

First I'd like to welcome back all the snowbirds that leave us for the winter. It's one way of letting us know summer is just around the corner.

Our Easter Egg Hunt went very well. We had around 300 kids show up and enjoy the beautiful weather that day. Our Easter bunny did a very good job. I hope all our older kids found all the bottles of goodies they could handle.

As for what we have planned for the next 2 months make sure you check the calendars attached and try to help out or take part in whatever you can. We can always use the help and appreciate all the support we can get from our members.

We had our $5000 Raffle on June 6th. We'd like to put out a big Thank you to everyone who bought a $5000.00 Ticket! Here are three of the final four at the $5000.00 raffle - Ron McCanham, Ron & Barb Newman, and Sandy Johnson.

The Winners decided to split Main Prize!!!

If nothing else, come on down to the Pines and check out all the changes that have been made. I would like to thank the SAL and AUX for all the improvements they have made, and of course, the Falk brothers for the cabinets that are so beautiful.

Hope to see you all at our next meeting on May 17!
