Bulwer Golden Age

On September 4, 60 members and guests gathered at the Bulwer Community Center to begin a new season. During the afternoon, seven tables of 500 were played, a table of cribbage, a table of Skip Bo and 2 teams of carpet bowling.

Keith congratulated everyone who had birthdays and anniversaries in September and welcomed our guests Rejean and Audrey. Keith also wants everyone to bring suggestions for activities they would like for this year.

Everyone assembled for supper. Grace was said by Ben Hodge. Another wonderful meal prepared by Peggy Grapes and helpers, consisting of roast pork and gravy, potatoes, peas, carrots, pickles, coleslaw applesauce and rolls. For desert, blueberry cheesecake was served. Peggy certainly never lets us down.
