General Meeting ~ Wednesday, September 22, 2010 ~ 10:00 am

We're starting off our new year with Dr. Doug McConnell, Director of Cardiac Surgery at Shasta Regional Medical Center.  Dr. McConnell has over 28 years experience in Cardiac and Thoracic surgery.  He and Bonnie, a member of Newcomers, moved to the northstate in 2006.

 Newcomers Picnic ~ Anderson River Park

Sunday, September 26, 2010 ~ 4:00 PM to 8:00  PM

Bring a dish to share. We'll BBQ hamburgers and supply plenty of water. You're on your own for any other drinks you may want (no glass containers in the park please.) Bring a chair with you to set under a tree and enjoy good company, good food, and watch or participate in the games.  Bocce ball and washer toss are the two most popular.  Will there be Wahdingers again?

 "ONE CAN AT A TIME" DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

Our food donations made a huge difference last year --- we would like to continue helping hungry children and families that depend on a bit of help from food pantries at the end of the month.  If you wish to participate, please bring a can of food to the General Meeting.  Brown paper bags and plastic grocery bags are also needed. 

We donated to Bridges to the Salvation Army in March -  they were very appreciative as their pantry was almost bare.  Our May and June food drives will be dedicated to helping children in the Redding School District Summer School Program.  All kinds of food are needed - many of these children come from extremely poor families and food will be sent home with them after school.

Don't forget the plastic bags and paper bags --- we need those too!
