Vol. XXII, No. 36	King's Gate Club - a 55+ community, Nokomis, Florida	September 12, 2009

GREETINGS FROM the BALTIC!   We have been in Denmark, Sweden, Estonia and Russia and still have 32 with us.....having a great time - really all getting very tired and poor....
      Love, Don and Mary Lou and King's Gate Travelers.   

GUIDE DOGS:   Today, Leigh Anne is here with "Duchess" for her last visit.   Duchess will enter "Guide" training at SEGD on September 22nd.   Please DO NOT PET Duchess when "In-Bridle". If Leigh Anne removes the bridle, then you can pet.   We wish Duchess success in her training and that she will go forward to provide "Mobility" to a sight impaired person.   Thank you Leigh Anne for being our puppy raiser for Duchess.       ---Nip & Jackie Barker

THE 09 LABOR DAY CELEBRATION was a big success!   We sold 93 tickets, and most all of the folks went out in their golf carts on a Pirate Treasure hunt.   There were 20 different treasures that they could find, somewhere within the Club or Park.   The folks also wore the Pirate garb of old.   We had a contest for the most original, which was won by the team of:   Ernie and Judy Auerbach, Fran Yaros, and Irene Bette. They won 50 doubloon ($50.00).   The team of Sandy and Ralph Garver, Sandy McIntyre and Joan Andrews, brought in the most treasure, and they were awarded 20 doubloon ($20.00).   The same team also won the lucky duck number and won an additional 5 doubloon ($5.00).

We had a great feast of Pigeon and some other fine morsels, and we finished off the night with a great dance. I think that everyone left with a smile on their faces and a full belly, which makes for a successful evening.

We taxed the people of Camelot 5 gold coins to attend the festivities and gave a tax relief, back to the winners of the contests, a total of 75 gold coin.   Everyone else was entertained and fed throughout the evening.       Respectfully submitted, Tom Hicks

TREE TRIMMING will begin the 2nd week of Sept. The sign-up sheet is in the office; prices start at $15.00/tree. Please sign up ASAP. Any questions, contact Rich Davis - 941-412-1951 or davis@kgc.cc
