Get ready all you fabulous bakers!!! You have another opportunity to show off those baking skills.  We are serving Coffee, Tea and Goodies for the BC Senior lawn bowling Games, Sept 14-17th and could use a fresh supply of baked goods.  If you’re not a baker, we gratefully accept bought cakes, cookies, crackers, fruit, etc.

We will also need volunteers for the Kitchen for the BC games.  I will be sending out a schedule with time slots available for you to fill. Thank you all for your generous support this year. 

Questions?? Please email me at baggottshannon@gmail.com

Kitchen A Coordinator 

There’s an opportunity for someone to put on a “Tea Day” this Saturday, the 27th, during the Drop In Draw. I will be out of town so will not be able to help. Unfortunately, if we do not get volunteers we will have to cancel the Tea & Goodies for members. 

Please also consider helping out Kitchen A on September 3rd during the upcoming Greenskeeper Tournament.  We will be offering Tea (hot &cold), Coffee and Goodies for $3.00. 

If you have any questions or would like to volunteer, please email me.

Thanks,

Shannon

Hi everyone

This email is to let you all know that I am cancelling our Thursday Morning LB game for July 28th due to the heat.  While it cools off slightly overnight, it heats up again very quickly in the morning and I don’t think it is a wise choice to play when we don’t have to.

I am sorry for the lateness of this email but I was hopeful that the weather might cool down a bit…but it doesn’t seem like this will happen.

See you all next week….

Sent on behalf of Linda T and if you have any questions, please email Linda

Thank you to everyone that has donated baking, it was greatly appreciated by members and guests.  As we are in the height of tournament season, we could really use additional baking donations for the upcoming Provincial Pairs and Joan Price Quaddie.  Sweet treats such as cookies, squares, cakes, cupcakes and muffins are always appreciated.

On another note, we have quite a few containers that have transported your baking to the club. We have left the containers & pans washed, outside the kitchen door for your pick up.

Thanks

Shannon
