Time to start planning the bewitching hour!
Upcoming Halloween events:
Homosassa Civic Club Halloween for the Kids. October 24, 4 to 8 pm. Asking adults with golf carts to come to the civic club and pass out treats. There will be 24 of those crazy long handled grabbers to safely hand out treats to the kids. The Key Club kids will be helping out Jessica MacRae with crafts. Two kids per table. The Key Club kids will have on a face mask at all time. Also music and a movie.
The Florida Cracker Monkey Bar is also having a Halloween party and asking adults to come with their golf cart and treats. I don’t have any more info other than it is on October 29 and we signed up to be one of the carts.
And the Homosassa Baptist Church is having a truck and treat event on October 31. Once again, no info.
Then, because the weather is so wonderful this weekend, the civic club is having a golf cart movie night on Saturday, October 3. Starts at dusk. Bring your drinks and snacks. The movie is Foot Loose. This was originally planned in June but it RAINED that evening. Then I fell and Terry had to spend all his energy in making me better. Plus it was just too hot all summer. This weekend’s event was a complete surprise to me. I was in front of the learning center and the sign said “movie night”. What! Fun times are back. If you don’t have a golf cart, drive your car, park in the “triangle” which is across the street from the civic club, bring your chair and set up.
Okay. I fell. 12 weeks ago yesterday I had surgery. Which means I can now walk without crutches. Waiting until Monday for my DR appointment for his approval. But I was out pulling weeds today. (with my crutches) So many weeds! Yeah for cooler temps!
Planning for Christmas at the civic club already. Told Ms. Harmon, the guidance counselor at the Homosassa Elementary School that we can take on 60 needy kids. We spend $100 on each child and buy gifts from their wish list. The club really depends on the community and the members to help out with this event. Especially since we will not be having a festival this year. There will be Christmas Trees with ornaments at the Old Mill, the American Legion Post 166, and at the civic club. Each ornament will have a dollar amount on it. You pick an ornament and give it to the bartender at the Old Mill and American Legion or Rhonda at the civic club with the money. Then we will ask for volunteers to do the shopping. More volunteers for the wrapping. And again, volunteers to hand out the gifts to the grown ups in charge of these children.
We also have a Christmas party for the community kids. It will be on December 19th. Mr. and Mrs. Claus are already signed up but we are not quite sure how we will do social-distancing. Great gifts are handed out to all the kids that attend.
Planning a Christmas concert on the front porch of our future Old Homosassa Heritage Museum. Do not have a date yet but this will be amazing!
The Old Homosassa Learning Center has a few more classes coming up. Nadeene started Zumba back up on Wednesdays at 6:15 pm. Belly Dancing is starting back up on Tuesdays on November 17th. Yoga continues on Mondays and Thursdays at 9 am. After-school enrichment be begin for kids in January after the holidays.
Yikes! Stuff is happening!
DOG OF THE WEEK
Kairi
This little girl is a rescue. She’s a Aussie Doodle and very timid. Still a puppy. I don’t know all of her back story but she was rescued from a puppy mill. She will need lots of love which she is definitely getting. Her new mama and sisters brought her to meet me at the learning center. Adorable but very scared. Hoping I can be her friend.
See you at the movie!
