Building Association News
Effective July 1, 2021, the price of drinks will be increasing. With cost going up, we needed to raise the prices. As of the last Building Association meeting, all drinks will increase by $.50. It has been over ten years since we have raised our prices. However, this is still quite a bargain at the new price.
The Building Association would like to thank everyone who helped with all the activities including dinners, bartending, cleaning, etc., during this COVID-19. Without all of you who volunteered, we would have been in trouble financially. Please check the website event calendar for all future events.
During the summer months, we still have our Wednesday night dinners…dine in, drive thru and pick-up. Please try to support these dinners. Current dinner schedules coming up:
June
June 9 Burgers on the grill $10.00 5:30 – 7:30 p.m.
June 16 Polish Dinner $11.00 5:00 – 7:30 p.m.
June 23 Goulash Dinner $10.00 5:30 – 7:30 p.m.

We are looking forward to 2021. Please see the Website at www.kc706.com click on the Calendars, then Event Calendar to see what activities are planned. Thank you!
Stay Safe and wear those masks (it’s helping)!

From the Editors Desk
Eagle Island Golf is underway. Our current starting time is 9:45 am. This is a fun league, maybe a few bets, but you will never lose more than a couple dollars. Who knows you might win a couple too.

Joke of the Month
Squirrel Issues:
The Presbyterian church called a meeting to decide what to do about their squirrel infestation. After much prayer and consideration, they concluded that the squirrels were predestined to be there, and they should not interfere with God’s divine will.
At the Baptist church, the squirrels had taken an interest in the baptistry. The deacons met and decided to put a water-slide on the baptistry and let the squirrels drown themselves. The squirrels liked the slide and, unfortunately, knew instinctively how to swim, so twice as many squirrels showed up the following week.
The Lutheran church decided that they were not in a position to harm any of God’s creatures. So, they humanely trapped their squirrels and set them free near the Baptist church. Two weeks later, the squirrels were back when the Baptists took down the water-slide.
The Episcopalians tried a much more unique path by setting out pans of whiskey around their church in an effort to kill the squirrels with alcohol poisoning. They sadly learned how much damage a band of drunk squirrels can do.
But the Catholic church came up with a more creative strategy! They baptized all the squirrels and made them members of the church. Now they only see them at Christmas and Easter.
Not much was heard from the Jewish synagogue. They took the first squirrel and circumcised him. They haven’t seen a squirrel since.
Bonus Joke: Visiting Her Husband
* The Fasting and Prayer conference will include meals.
* Miss Charlene Mason sang I Will Not Pass This Way Again, giving obvious pleasure to the congregation.
* Irving Benson and Jessie Carter were married on October 24 in the church. So ends a friendship that began in their school days.
* Ladies, don’t forget the rummage sale. It’s a chance to get rid of those things not worth keeping around the house. Bring your husbands. * Next Thursday there will be try-outs for the choir. They need all the help they can get.
Had Room for a 2nd Bonus Joke(s)
