2012 ANNUAL HOLIDAY PARTY
Join us at 7:00 p.m. on December 13th for our Annual
Holiday Party (or – better yet – arrive at 5:00 p.m. to help us
set up!) The club will provide meats and condiments, while
members are asked to bring a side dish. Please RSVP to Gail
Hoskins at 561-967-2923 by Monday, December 10 and
indicate what side dish you’ll bring.
All dishes must be ready to eat, with no heating required.
Bring a serving spoon and warming tray, if needed. Gail will
also need to know the number in your party, the ages of
attending children, if any, and if you’ll bring guests. The
Holiday Party is always free to members. Nonmembers and
guests are welcomed to attend for $10.
As a reminder, there will be no Tall Tales Tables, Mystery
Item or Monthly Best Finds. We will be selling raffle tickets
for lovely door prizes and 50/50.

THANKS TO OUR VOLUNTEERS!
A big thanks Linda Trent and Marilyn Batts for selling
raffle tickets at the November meeting.

BURIED COIN CACHE - $25 REWARD!
FIRST CLUE:
"We have a clue for you, you have to exit on either 6th or
10th to get on the road that goes to the water blue"
SECOND CLUE:
When driving toward the water blue, don’t cross the bridge,
too. Look south and you will find the Park-North, with lots
of shade at the front where you can park free.
THIRD CLUE:
If you park in the morning, you will have more shade. Go
east young man (or lady), past the band shell to find your
fortune. (With apologies to Horace Greeley).

CLUE 4:
When you find Finland, look for Alex and Nicole. From
Finland, look straight to find Alex and Nicole, look
down and count 3 steps west to find the gold!
The buried item is a small brown medicine container filled
with clad coins.
It is placed in a Ziploc® bag.
Burial of cache and the clues are provided by Wayne and
Nancy Stephens. If the cache is found by a club member,
that person will receive a $25 prize AND earn the right to
bury the next cache! Good luck everyone! Please remember
- always fill your holes!

was a foreign coin hunt with tokens planted for prizes.
