Mariner’s Game
– August 7th
We all had a great time when the Mariner’s beat the Toronto Blue
Jays – Tuesday, August 7.
We also got a terrific deal on our tickets - $7.50 a person – then
we were treated to 14 innings of Mariner baseball! What a deal!
The weather was wonderful – it was a bit chilly around 11 pm but it
started out warm and we had fabulous seats!
Some went home early but arrived home in time to watch the end of the
game anyway!
Nesika members that went were: Barbara & Richard Moore, Tess
& Chuck Kent & son Corey; Florence Morris; Velma Weber; Carol Vaughan
with daughter Janice & grandsons John & David; & Christie Wild.
There were also DeMolay, co-workers & friends. Thanks so much to all of you
for making it such a fun night.
We even saw our Chapter name on the big screen! Want to go again next year? Let Carol know!

News
that I know
(and it ain’t much)
First
– my apologies - contrary to the Worthy Matron’s faulty memory – we are doing
the work and closing not opening & introductions.
Don
& Marcia Beck won’t be at the OV.
Jim O’Rourke will be sitting in for Don. Thanks, Jim! Don & Marcia are at
Grand Chapter in Wyoming. It will also be
MWGM Dorothy Dewing’s official visit.
Other than the heat – they should have a grand time!
We’ll
also be missing Nicole Turner who is studying in Japan until October. She’s
having a great time! Email her if you
want to stay in contact with her while she’s gone. Thanks to Mary Spunaugle for
sitting in for Nicole while she’s in the Land of the Rising Sun.
