Friends! May everyone be enjoying the Balloon Fiesta full of color, brisk winds in the morning, friendly people from all over the world and can you imagine approximately 900,000 people in attendance over the 9 day event! This month is our social event and it is Fun & Games day – primarily bunco, unless you bring other games for members to participate in!! Bunco is fun, quick to learn, and allows you to interact with those at your table. You rotate so that you will have had an opportunity to meet almost everyone playing the game! Give it a shot! What do you have to lose?!

Urgent Friendship Force meeting
It is hoped September 28 was marked on your calendar for our upcoming meeting.
Elections for 2020 for the board are being conducted. Bill Bertenshaw has been nominated for president and he has accepted!
Joan, our president, and her husband, Al, have important information to share with the membership regarding their trip to Boulder, Colorado, to attend the FF International Conference.
They are excited about the many ideas introduced at the Conference; however, there is one KEY factor that plays an important role to the success of implementing the ideas — YOU! If you are interested in making our club stronger, your attendance and participation will be very much appreciated!
The board is asking for your input after Joan & Al’s presentation and we hope you will join us!!
The board has approved paying $5 towards lunch for each member that attends the luncheon – IT IS THAT IMPORTANT!!!
