still working as host here. However, as Kyle reminded me, their parking is at a premium and they do get busy

are present at the time.

It may be a bitterly cold and dreary night, but you don’t have to be cold or alone. Join your friends for a fun evening and a relaxing game of cards. And if you’re wondering what to bring to add to our favorite snacks and beverages bar, here’s a thought, it’s National Peanut Brittle Day.

Feeding The Homeless
2022-01-30 13:00 - 17:00
During the holidays, everyone is filled with good cheer and charity. After the holidays, not so much, but the need doesn’t fade away. As in years past, we’re going to feed the homeless. We’ll need two groups of volunteers, one group to prepare and cook the food, and the second group will serve the food.
1 PM Preparation and Cooking at Table of Hope Kitchen, 156 S. Kansas. We need volunteers to help prepare and cook the
food to serve dinner later that evening and to prepare breakfast for the next morning for a hundred people. Th e size of the group is limited only by the size of the kitchen. We will also need volunteers to transport the food to the Men’s
Emergency Homeless Shelter.
5:30 PM to 8 PM Serving at Men’s Emergency Homeless Shelter, 841 N. Market. We need only four volunteers to pack and serve the take away boxed dinner. Th e breakfast foods can be left for the staff to distribute the next morning. I will be sending out an email later with more details.

Ground Hog Day
2022-02-02
Groundhog Day on February 2 is when we ask are we in for six more weeks of Winter? Only a groundhog named Punxsutawney Phil knows for sure. Each year on Groundhog Day, people flock to Gobbler’s Knob in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, to await the forecast of the local rodent celebrity. Originating with German settlers, who came to Pennsylvania in the 1700s and brought their seasonal superstitions with them, legend has it that if Phil sees his shadow on February 2, the winter chill will continue. Oddly, if the weather is cloudy and he doesn’t see his shadow, we can expect warmer temperatures and early spring. Groundhog Day is a tradition to be cherished. And yes, it is also a film starring Bill Murray:www.youtube.com/watch?v=GncQtURdcE4.

On Darwin Day we beg to ask the question that if man descended from apes, then where did bowling descend from? Coconuts? Join

Remember that their parking is tight and at a premium, on the best of days, so get there early so we can all be seated together. In fact, John Paul said that we will not be seated until everyone is there. So, I told him that to seat whoever is there at 9 AM
