Goose Droppings
Summer at the Drop In is usually a rather routine affair: the usual weekly occurrences of puzzles, cards, bridge and mah jongg. Disruptions are usually caused by vacations, visitors and berry picking excursions. The Drop In is still here and open from 1:00 to 5:00pm every weekday afternoon. Sometimes someone shares that dessert which really is much better with friends.
However, this summer has seen a couple of events beyond the regular. In July we held the “Pay What you Want” Yard Sale and the Saturday of the Music Festival our Sausage BBQ was great fun. We saw some friends, had some interested customers, and raised some money for the rent. The left overs from the Yard Sale were given to the United Church for their Thrift Shop or the new business on Broadway, the Thrift Store. Slowly but surely the back room is getting emptier, ready for some different uses to develop.
Friday, August 5 will see another unusual summer activity at the Drop In. Have you got a ticket yet for the Ladies Bunco Night? The fun starts at 7:00 p.m. Rolling the dice is a hoot, with an edge of excitement as gambling always has. There is laughter with the hostess with the “comedic mostest” who shares her jokes, and seeks yours. There are prizes of course: gamblers definitely win, just not all the time. And there is dessert with decaf beverage.
Tickets for Ladies Bunco Night cost $10 and they are available at the Drop In in the afternoon. Call 705 856 7394 and ask for Carol.
