Volunteer callers at bingo Sept. 5 were Joan Smith and Margaret MacEachern. Lunch was supplied by Dorothy Harmel.

A 40th anniversary was hosted Sept. 9. A memorial for Clifford Dumont is booked for Saturday, Sept. 15 at 12:30 p.m. Everyone is welcome.

A come and go tea for Jean Hartman’s 90th birthday is scheduled for Sept. 22 from 2 to 4 p.m.

The September monthly meeting was held Wednesday, followed by bingo.
