Monthly Game Night

If you have not joined us on the second Friday night of every month, you are missing good eats and good companionship.

While the board members have their meeting at 6:00, the ladies are getting everything set out and ready to eat. We have potluck at 6:30 and talk about being good, its much better than good. The cooks outdo themselves and if anyone goes away hungry, it is their own fault. Then after eating and visiting, almost everyone stays and does more visiting while playing games. Most everyone plays Mexican train (with their own variation of the rules of course).

Turner Trade Days Are Coming

Yep, we have a new activity on the venue for this year’s fund raising. We will be having a community yard sale/trade day Saturday July 18th. So mark your calendars and start your spring cleaning. Outside spaces for the sale will rent for $10.00 and you can get a lot of stuff into a 12 X 20 area. A limited number of inside 8 X 10 spaces will be available for $15.00. If you need a table, they will also be for rent at $3.00 each. Two folding chairs will be provided to each booth. What a great opportunity to get rid of some of the stuff that has been accumulating around your house and you can make some money to boot. We want to start early in the morning, around 7 AM and you can sell as long as you want. You will be allowed to bring your merchandise out the day before and set it up. Each person must clean up their area before leaving, and any unsold merchandise must be removed by the end of the day. The sale will be advertised in the local newspapers and flyers will be posted. We hope this will be a successful event that will lead to a Turner tradition.

The Extension Homemakers Club, better known as the Turner Ladies Club, will be selling hot dogs, chips, drinks, and miscellaneous snack items. All profits from the snack sale, booth rent, and table rent will be deposited in the Turner Community General Fund.

Everyone knows how much it costs these days to upkeep a facility. We need to raise money to gurantee funds for future expenses of insurance, utilities, maintenance, and lawn care. If you want to participate in the Turner Trade Day event, reserve your space by calling Don or Linda Wilkinson at 479-997-8541, Max or Shirley Donnohue at 479-997-1590. Get your reservations in now. And remember…one man’s trash is another man’s treasure!

PS…It has been rumored that Herschel has challenged Don to an old fashioned Hoop Roll contest. Don would like to officially accept this challenge and will now commence some vigorous training. The Trade Day function should provide an ample crowd to witness this courageous and valiant contest that could possibly qualify for an entry into the Guiness World Book of Records. He is also going to fervently explore the internet for official rules and will then provide his own rendition of them. Herschel…beware!
