ATTENTION ALL VETERANS

The Lamplighter Village Veteran’s Club meets the 1st Thursday of each month

at 9:00 AM in the Carriage House

To join our Club, please contact one of the following:

Ray Sprague, Vice-President, 585-520-9105,

Roger Doran, Secretary, 614-338-9538

And then you say what is that? Euchre is a card game that has been around for a long time, but perhaps more of a Midwestern or Northern game. Many of our residents have enjoyed teaching or learning this new, but old card game. You can learn too and have as much fun as everyone else. New date: Monday evenings in the Carriage House at 6:30 pm. Bring a drink and a snack too!

Ballroom Dancing—Great Fun!!! Put on those dancing shoes and come dance with us on Wednesday afternoons in the Carriage House. Michael Cassidy, professional dance instructor, provides the necessary instruction for each resident. You will love the excitement while learning those dance steps that will move you around the room. Come see what ballroom dancing is all about. The best part...there is no charge to the residents. Dancing begins at 2:00 pm.

A Heartfelt Thank You! Project Suds America, Inc. would like to thank the Lamplighter Village Veterans Group and residents for their kind donations. They are greatly appreciated and will be well used. Project Suds is a non-profit organization that helps homeless and low income veterans. They started by helping homeless veterans get their laundry done—hence our name “Project Suds”. Now we do a little bit of everything for our veterans. The Lamplighter Veterans have been very supportive and have had us to many of their functions giving our veterans a nice day out. Everyone is welcome to join us at Flamingo Laundry on Tuesdays at 8:00 am to see how we function, leave donations , or just meet some of our vets. If you would like to donate and have some fun doing it, join us at our Quarter Auctions the second Sunday of every month at 2:30 pm at the Veteran Memorial Complex on Minton Rd. Thanks Again, Lisa Spaccio Vice President Project Suds America
