Casino Night on Memorial

weekend sponsored by The

Cloud 9 Cruisers Club

brought in over $1,200.00.

A check for that amount

was recently presented to

Coy Jackson, General Mgr.,

by the Cruisers Officers,

Cindi Morrison and

Deanna Armstrong, to

purchase grounds-keeping

equipment.

Cruisers are sponsoring another Casino Night event for Labor Day

Weekend. Teaming up with Ranch Restaurant and Ranch Outfitters,

the theme will be Isle of the Ozarks, with a Luau atmosphere and trop-

ics inspired food and drinks.

In addition to the above check presented to

the Ranch, at a recent meeting the Cruisers

approved the purchase of items for much

needed playground restoration. This week,

Project Coordinator, Wendell Ward, got new

swings, teeter-totter, trapeze bars, etc., and

with the help of his brother, Myron, replaced

some of the broken or missing items in the

campground play areas. As the Cruisers say:

WORKING TOGETHER MAKES IT WORK!!
