Mark your calendars and bring your sweet tooth—our much-loved Ooey-Gooey Auction is back! This delicious tradition, hosted by Prime Timers of Phoenix, will take place on Thursday, November 20th, in the Life Center at the Beatitudes Campus.
At this annual fundraiser, members of Prime Timers will showcase their baking talents by donating decadent, homemade desserts. From rich chocolate tortes to melt-in-your-mouth pies, every treat promises to be as indulgent as it is irresistible. The best part? You’ll have the chance to bid on these sweet creations and take one home to share—or savor all for yourself!
The Ooey-Gooey Auction isn’t just about desserts – it’s about community. Funds raised go directly to supporting Prime Timers of Phoenix and our programs that bring people together for friendship, fun, and connection.
So, invite your friends, sharpen your sweet tooth, and get ready to raise your paddle for a good cause. With every bid, you’re helping to keep our community thriving.

Potluck with a Side of Gratitude
In the spirit of the season, let’s give thanks by sharing something special from your kitchen to our communal table. Please bring a dish that serves 8–10 generous hearts. Whether it’s:
•
A harvest-inspired appetizer
•
A comfort-filled side dish
•
A cozy main course
•
Or yes…another divine dessert (mains and sides are especially appreciated—we’re usually sweet enough already )
Bonus points for labeling your dish—especially if it’s vegan, gluten-free, nut-free, or spiced with love.
Sips & Support
We’ll provide coffee and bottled water to keep things cozy. Want something stronger or sparkling? Feel free to BYOB (wine, beer, soda—whatever makes your heart sing).
We kindly suggest a $5 donation to help cover essentials like utensils, plates, drinks—and to support our clubhouse bookings and future holiday happenings.
Bring a Friend, Share the Feast
Know someone who’d love the vibe or just needs a place to feel welcome this season? Bring them along! New faces are always welcome at the QC table.
Let’s make this potluck one to remember—a little gratitude, a lot of laughter, and just enough leftovers to question our life choices.
With warmth and mashed-potato-level comfort,
Dean & Marcus

All are welcome!!!
January Monthly Meeting
Our guest speaker will be Sador Lubisch. He will be speaking about his latest book titled It Started In Butler – My Celebrity Encounters. But it won’t be a typical book talk and reading. Since this book deals with the entertainment industry, the audience will participate in a simulated TV game show titled Share The Spotlight.
It Started In Butler – My Celebrity Encounters provides an insight into the author’s experiences and how he knew some of these performers on a more personal level. Many obtained local, national, and even international stardom. While others, who possessed the needed talent, never obtained this recognition due to various circumstances.
Copies will be available for those interested in purchasing.
