Welcome Fall

"I am rich today with autumn's gold,
All that my covetous hands can hold;
Frost-painted leaves and goldenrod,
A goldfinch on a milkweed pod,
Huge golden pumpkins in the field
With heaps of corn from a bounteous yield,
Golden apples heavy on the trees
Rivaling those of Hesperides,
Golden rays of balmy sunshine spread
Over all like butter on warm bread;
And the harvest moon will this night unfold
The streams running full of molten gold.
Oh, who could find a dearth of bliss
With autumn glory such as this!"

Club visits Keltoi Vineyard

Club to visit Keltoi Vineyard in Sept. 22

Get ready to sample some wine and eat some grapes as the club gets a tour of Keltoi Vineyard. Go to their website for more information about the vineyard and driving directions at www.keltoivineyard.com. We will start early at 6:00 pm because of fewer daylight hours in the evening. We will be outside. Hostesses will bring food that will go with the wine and grapes.

We need members to plan the October 27 meeting and our Holiday party on Dec. 8. You can decide what program or activity we will be doing, arrange a meeting place, and what time you want to start. Hostesses are already signed up. Contact Nancy or Doris as soon as possible!!
