Over the Memorial Day Weekend!
The Hawley Lake Outing on Memorial Day weekend is coming up in a little over a month. If you are attending the Fish Fry on Saturday morning, bring your money and sign up for the outing. The cost of the outing is $65.00 for the first person and $20.00 for each additional family member. The fees cover the group camp ground rental, fishing permits and the steak dinner at the Saturday pot luck. If you are planning on attending the Hawley Lake outing, you need to sign up by the AFC Club meeting on May 8th. This is always a fun outing, so sign up early and beat the rush at the May meeting.
COME PREPARED!
Hawley Lake AFC Photo ID Contest
Memorial Day weekend:
Remember to bring an old photo of yourself, when you were younger than you are now, to our fabulous AFC Photo ID Contest Memorial Day weekend at Hawley Lake.
Here's how it works: photos must be stealthily delivered in an envelope with your name on it at the next general meeting, May 8th, or to the campsites of Marian, Juanita, or Marti by 12:00 P. M. Saturday, May 26th. You must be present to participate. All "G" rated photos will be assigned a number, the numbered pics will be displayed prior to the start of the potluck for participants to squint at and study. On a numbered sheet of paper, contestants must match the photos with the name of the club member. When the potluck is over, the names that match the numbers will be called, like bingo. The contestant with the most correct matches wins a prize.
If you ever wanted to be a pin-up, now's your chance! Fishing related photographs are preferable, but not required. If your pictures are priceless, please bring a photocopy for the contest, just in case they accidentally blow into the lake. See the AFC website and newsletter for more details or call Marian at 602 956-4345 if you have any questions. See you there! |
NEW LOCATION for ALL General Meetings until further notice!!
Beginning in June, we will be relocating to:
Devonshire Community Center
located at 2802 E.
Devonshire (one block north of Indian School Road on 28th Street)
This is a temporary move as we are hopeful to be back at the Sunnyslope Community Center as soon as possible (September is the current target date).
