Club Picnic
Edelweiss Pavilion
17832 Highway 8,
Morrison
Free admission, bring
your own food.
Thanks to everyone who came out for the Father’s Day
dance in June. It was a big success with 2 birthday parties
and a visit from our friends at the golf course. We would
have liked to have seen more members; hopefully, all you
summer birds will be back for Oktoberfest.
This month, on the 24th, is our club picnic. We start at
1 p.m. in Morrison. Please bring your own food and let’s
catch up with some old friends and make new ones. Club
members are invited to bring guests. It’s open to
everyone.
Oktoberfest is just around the corner. We are relying
on all our members to help make it a success. We still
have lots of available slots on our volunteer list. If you
would like to volunteer, there is a link on our web site, or
you can call Stefi Kirsch at 720-841-2570.
We are also looking for vendors this year. If you
would like a booth, or you know someone with items to
sell, visit our web site for a vendor application, or call
Amy Dodd at 303-378-7324
We look forward to seeing everyone on the 24th!
We are now on the Gunter
Auerbach show. Over the
air (antenna tv) at 23.6 on
Sunday from 12-3 pm.
