Things to be Thankful For

Bargain Ben does it again!  Pat’s Foods recently donated $1,000 to the Playground Project!  Thank you Campionis!  I wish I had  the acceptance picture to show you.  It was full of cuties!

Also, right in our own town, The Pines Resort donated $1,000 to the playground.  Thank you Stigers!  Make sure to visit The Pines and Zik’s Bar when they reopen this winter!

For a bit of bad news, the Ladie’s Masquerade Ball is postponed for this weekend.  They didn’t have enough participation to cover costs this time around.  Perhaps it will reemerge after the holidays, so save your ball gown!

In the mean time, have a Happy Thanksgiving!  There is a potluck at the Copper Harbor Community Building this Sunday the 18th at 6 pm sharp.  Bring a dish to share and your own setting.  The kiddies from the schoolhouse are going to sing us a few thankful tunes as well.  Gobble gobble!

November Fundraiser Events

I’m feeling the love.  Are you feeling the love?  It seems that more and more people keep catching on about this new playground.  And they want to help!  So far two fundraisers are scheduled for this November.

Saturday, November 10th, the Shepherd of the Sea Chapel in Copper Harbor is holding a Chili Luncheon from noon to 4pm.  This event also includes a baked goods auction.  Boy, if you’ve ever gone to a bake sale in Copper Harbor, you know the ladies (well, and some men) try to outdo each other.  There will be some scrumdidliumptious treats, all right!

Saturday, November 17th presents a special night out for the ladies while the boys (and some women) are out hunting.  Michigan Tech hosts a Masquerade Ball in their Union Ball Room.  This is a formal event, FOR LADIES ONLY!  Dine, dance and mingle from 7:00 pm to 11:00 pm with music by Garden City Hot Club.  Tickets are $40.00 and they’re available at Jeannie’s 127 Quincy St Hancock, 906-523-5465 or through Syd Faassen 906-289-4306.  If you have facebook, see more details here!

Come support the kids by eating and having a wonderful time.  Thank you!
