April 2024
SUB SALE: Our Friday and Saturday sub sale for April: Friday, April 5 & Saturday, April 6. Please check your eails each month for the information and deadlines for sales. Thanks to all who purchase and sell the subs. Please purchase subs for your friends, family members, and neighbors for our presales. All subs and pepperoni rolls are $8.00. Post Avenue raised the prices by $.25, but our members decided to hold the $8.00 prices for all items. We sold 670 items in March. Our May sale will be on Friday, May 3, and Saturday, May 4. Volunteers for the Saturday morning sales are most welcome. Hopefully, we won’t need to deal with the cold and rainy or snowy weather by the May sale. The weather doesn’t appear to be great for the April Saturday sale. We can control some things but not the weather.
MONTHLY MEETINGS: Please note that all upcoming monthly meetings will continue on the second Thursday of each month. Your attendance would be appreciated. Usually, it’s the same limited number of members at all of the meetings. Ed Farzati of Norvelt will briefly speak at the April 11 meeting regarding his desire to erect flags with the pictures of community members who have served in our armed forces on utility poles within the community. The flags will be similar to those erected in many of our local communities.
ANNUAL DUES:” ELEVEN” members still owe dues for FY2023-2024. Annual dues are now $67.00 each fiscal year. The first six months are $34.00, and the remaining six months are $33.00. The club was required to pay for the dues of all unpaid members with money from the Administrative Fund in the first week of 2024 January. It’s unfortunate that there are that many members who still owe dues with only three months remaining in this fiscal year. Check with Ed Ungvarsky if you’re not sure whether you still owe dues. Some members might think they are paid in full, but our records show they still owe dues either for six months or the entire fiscal year. Your prompt payments are needed!
HEALTH: Please remember our members and their family members who are currently experiencing health issues. Age and health issues have become issues for many members with their involvement in all club activities. All members and their spouses are approaching the ages when they can’t do what that did a few years ago.
MARCH 17 PANCAKE BREAKFAST: We wish to thank the members who volunteered for the breakfast. It was great to see many young families along with many senior citizens who enjoyed the morning spending time together at a breakfast. It’s really a community activity where it’s not just a fund raiser. Our next breakfast will be in the fall on Sunday, November 24, at Roosevelt Hall with the Norvelt VFD.
MARCH WHITE CANE COLLECTION: We wish to thank the 16 members who volunteered in the cold and wind on Saturday, March 23, at the Mt Pleasant Walmart for their two hours shifts. We did very well with our collection. Thank you! Hopefully, it won’t be as cold for our Walmart collection in September.
2024 GOLF OUTING: Our 2024 golf outing with all proceeds donated to the WCBA will be held on Friday, June 21, at 8:00 AM at the Donegal Highlands Golf Course. Flyers along with additional information are available from Ed Ungvarsky. Golfers and donors are most welcome for a bigger and even better year. We raised $4200 for the WCBA with our 2023 outing. Cost is $95.00 per person that includes golf, prizes, lunch, beverages, steak dinner, continental breakfast and baked goods by Ed Ungvarsky. Chinese auction and raffles will also be held. If you can’t golf or don’t wish to play, volunteers are needed throughout the day to assist at the outing. Please contact Ed if you know of potential golfers or donors that he could contact. DHGC has greatly improved in the last 2 years.
WCBA GOLF OUTING: Their 2024 golf outing will be held on Friday, May 24, with a shotgun start at 9:00 AM at the Madison Club in Madison, PA. Cost is $100.00 per golfer and includes golf, lunch, steak dinner, raffles, prizes, and a commemorative gift. See Ed Ungvarsky for flyers. Our club is always a sponsor for this outing.
