The annual Christmas Party was a total success thanks = to Mary & Lee. It was fun to spend some leisure time with you all, enjoying the food, drink, music and DANCING! The entertainment was top-notch and Mary has booked him again for Christmas 2010. I will ma= ke sure we have a bigger dance floor so we can all get out there and kick-up o= ur heels next year. I was sore for 3 days afterwards!!

Brunch this month will be on Saturday the 16th. = The Casino Trip will be Thursday the 7th. The Birthday/Anniversary Potluck will be Monday the 25th. I wrote this too early to know if we had a n= ice New Year's party, but I'm sure we did. (ha-ha). We only have one regular season Viking's game left. Then the play offs start. When I get the schedule I will post day= s and times.
We said good-by to June Dahl in December. She was a long time resident of CCM and= a WONDERFUL lady. She will be missed= .
That's it for=
this
month. Take care.

A MESSAGE FROM MARY <= o:p>
I trust you all had a very happy and blessed Christmas= . I would like to thank everyone for the = gifts and cards from so many of you. Tha= t was very nice of you. I had a great ti= me at the party and from the cards and thank you gifts I would say everyone that attended had a great time also. I = have booked the same entertainer and of course the caterer.
Potluck was very good this month, I was even able to a= ttend for once and it was nice enjoying all the great food. We have some great co= oks at Country Club Manor.
My folks made it to Texas in one piece and my sister s= aid the driving was not that bad. It d= id take them a little longer than usual, but they made it safe and sound. They enjoyed the party, but said they d= id not appreciate nature’s harsh welcome (like the snow and cold). Sorry about that Mom and Dad. This has been the coldest and snowiest Christmas in a long time!
I will not be able to make the New Year’s Eve party, b= ut I am sure you will all have a great time. Enjoy and bring in the New Year with a bang. I can hardly believe how fast this year= has gone.
Be sure to watch for your CRP rent credit form the end= of the month and put it in a safe place or file right away. It is a lot of work to get them done, s= o if you need a replacement we do charge a fee of $25.00.
We will also be checking smoke detectors during the la= st two weeks of January, so be sure to watch for the notice.
Be sure to be careful when you go outside; it is icy everywhere you go. After that wet = snow on Christmas and then freezing, there is ice everywhere you go.
I would also like to extend our deepest Sympathy to the family of June Dahl. She was a great and wonderful person and will be missed here at Country Club Manor. You ar= e all in my prayers.
Happy New Year! Until next month have safe one and God
Bless, Mary
