Please see the attached book Club notice and reading selection for the May 20th meeting.
OTHER HAPPENINGS:
Tickets are on sale this week from 3:00 to 5:00 PM for the Kentucky Derby Party and Waterway Downs Horse Races May 7th. This will be a fun activity with good food; watching the hobby horse races, and finishing off with the RUN FOR THE ROSES, the Kentucky Derby! The Mint Juleps will flow on the verandah! Y’all be there!!
Also, Ray Heckman has worked very hard bringing our six handsome (hobby) horses to life!! They are up for auction this Saturday, April 30th from 4 to 6 pm in the Clubhouse. Bids will start as low as $5.00 per horse. We don’t expect the bids to bids to be very high! The highest bidder for each horse will be the owner of record for the races on May 7th. Each will name his/her horse; find a jockey, make up a Stable Name, pick the color of the ‘silks’ (the shirt/signature color of the jockey and owners); and perhaps adorn the horse with a few decorations!
So come on out to the Clubhouse and join in the excitement of the first Jewel of the Triple Crown, The 137th running of the Kentucky Derby on Saturday, May 7th from 3:00 to 7:00 PM.
And join in the fun of the Horse Auction this Saturday, April 30th. There’s no admission charge. Snacks will be served. Bring a favorite beverage if you like and at least come and watch!! Who knows…you may go home with a handsome steed or a cute little filly!!
Hope to see you there!!
