What: Cranium & Cravings
When:  Thursday, September 20, 7:15pm
Where:  Ruth's house

Ruth will be hosting this month's meeting.  She says, "Invite everyone to bring desserts if they want...but not to stress
about it.  I'll have a few desserts myself and coffee, tea, port and wine.  The scheduled activity is Cranium (a game involving
Pictionary/Charades/Trivia/Name That Tune).  We'll break up into teams and give it a go."

Meet at 9:30 near Lifeguard Tower #3...remember bring your own chairs etc...we'll be in the sand!
 

PINECREST PLANNING
Shirley wrote, "At coffee on Sunday we talked about a possible 2002 date for Pinecrest.  You can make reservations very early now, and people are busy, so it behooves us to set a date.  We were thinking of the week of July 6th."  Let Shirley know how this works for your family.
