REPORT OF ADULT RECREATION
JANUARY, FEBRUARY, MARCH, 1973
Our membership .has grown to 185 since November 7th.
We have an average of 125 members to 130 members at each pot-
luck and 75 to 85 each Tuesday afternoon for cards and chess.
The shuffleboard courts are busy Monday afternoons and
Wednesday mornings.
The Handcraft class averages 24 each Monday and makes
articles for sale for the club or for personal use. The cera-
mics class is not quite as large but is very busy. The water-
color class has 15 members.
We have purchased two 8' tables and 24 chairs, a new
stove and two burner hot plate for a total of $615.00. This
money was made from dinners, Rock and Gem Show, Bazaars, etc.,
and is the result of the members effort.
We plan to put vinyl tile on the kitchen floor and
purchase a double stainless steel sink. Later on we plan to
panel the walls to the hall.
The City put in the line for the stove and hooked it up
for us. We appreciate this very much.
