Please RSVP to Sue Ballard by September 13th so she has a good idea of who will be coming.

Go to the day use area at the campground. (if it is in use, we will be at the Butler's campsite #079) Robin and Joan also have sites there, so if need be we will spread out.
We're looking forward to having some breakfast and spending the day at the beach.
Please bring your eggs and whatever fixings you want in them.
The club will supply the fruit salad, sausage, sweet rolls and juice.
The Butler's will provide the cups, napkins, plates, plastic ware, and coffee.
Please come and enjoy with all of us as the end of summer approaches!

Saturday Coffee Clatches
Continue
Meet your Las
Madres friends for some coffee and conversation at Java Junction
on Saturday mornings at 9am. Every third Saturday is a field trip.
September away coffee will be Saturday, September 16. Since that
is also the evening of Bocce, Kathy figured we'd keep it simple.
We'll meet at the old Starbucks "haunt" at Aborn &
White & then those that want to can walk over to the Grand
Reopening of the Evergreen library.
