🎱😂 THURSDAY BINGO… YOU BETTER BE READY!

We need to talk about what happened at Bingo last week!

I took over for Jackie, who somehow had FOUR Bingo cards going at once, while LouAnn was calling letters and numbers faster than an auctioneer at a livestock sale! 🐄🤣

There I sat, two coffees deep, wondering if I was playing Bingo or accidentally bidding on a cow!

🎱 9:30 AM – BINGO!
Not sure who’s calling this week, but whoever it is, you better come ready! No lollygagging or daydreaming, or you’ll miss half the numbers before you know what hit ya! 😂

Suggested donation: $1 per card.

🍽️ Around 11:00 AM – LUNCH!
Good food, great company, and a chance to recover from Bingo!

🧵❤️ THREADS OF LOVE THURSDAY!

🪡 12:00–3:00 PM – Quilting for a Cause!

Calling all sewers, pinners, fabric cutters, encouragers, and helping hands!

We’re making quilts and throws for children in foster care and our home-delivered meals seniors. ❤️

Can’t sew a stitch? WE STILL NEED YOU!

Setting up, cutting fabric, pinning, organizing, encouraging, cleaning up… there’s something for everyone!

Every helping hand makes a difference, and every stitch is made with love. ❤️

🍁❤️ What a Tuesday at the New River Kiwanis Senior Center!

We started our morning celebrating our Incredible Bonnie’s birthday! 🥳🎂 What a remarkable woman! I love listening to her talk so fondly of her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. The love she has for her family and the joy they bring to her life shine through every conversation. What a blessing to celebrate her! ❤️

🍰☕ And yes, we had cheesecake and a few other yummy desserts for BREAKFAST with our coffee! 😂 Probably not our healthiest decision, but hey, we were celebrating! Sometimes cheesecake for breakfast is just what the occasion calls for!

🎨💕 Then it was time for crafts with our Wonderful Lisa! What a lovely group of women who gather around those tables each Tuesday! Lisa, thank you for sharing your creativity, time, and talents with us. Between the laughter, conversations, and friendships, we’re creating so much more than crafts. ❤️

At 11, we gathered for Grief Share. ❤️ What a special group of people who come together to listen, encourage, reflect, and support one another. Grief takes many forms, and having a place where we can share openly without judgment is such a blessing.

🍂 A SNEAK PEEK AT NEXT TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 3RD!

One of our seniors brought in fall leaves all the way from Indiana! Talk about bringing back childhood memories! Remember playing in the leaves or watching our own kids jump into those big piles? 🍁

Thanks to a creative idea from Connie, we’re bringing a little autumn nostalgia to Arizona!

🎨 Next Tuesday at 9:30 a.m., we’ll be making leaf prints on T-shirts or sweatshirts using metallic paint colors!

🍁 WE NEED LEAVES! Yes, I know we’re in Arizona, but there have to be some out there somewhere! 😂 If you find some, bring them our way!

Days like today remind me why I love what we do. It’s not just about keeping busy. It’s about the people, their stories, the laughter, the friendships, and the opportunity to make someone else’s day a little brighter. ❤️
