                  Jan Calomeni

                  The winners of the River Haven Social Club’s election on January 28th were Ray Nave, President; Ginger Chicione, Vice President; Ann Gadreau, Secretary; Judy Nave, Treasurer. Congratulations and good luck to all.

                  The 28th was also our annual flea-market, bake sale/BBQ.  We raised $832.00 thanks to the efforts of many many  workers, for fear of missing someone I will not name individuals.  We had a lot of donations including jewelry, furniture, clothing, knickknacks, etc. We didn‘t quite match last year but with the road conditions, as they are, we did really great.  A BIG RIVER HAVEN THANK YOU TO ALL!!!.

                  BINGO

                  Betty Benson

                  “Thank you” River Haven, Eagle Point and Parkhill for making our “Bingo” very successful.  They are the only outsiders welcome to play as we are not a public Bingo.  When our HOT BALL reaches $100.00 we start adding $5.00 each week until it is won.  That can make a pretty good win as it grows.  Refreshments are served after the tenth game.  Hope you all continue to support bingo, it is self supporting. “Thanks” to our committee members.

                   HORSE-SHOE COURT REFURBISHED

                  Thank you to Roger Comtois and Ralph Booth for the clean-up job around the horse-shoe pits. They have set up markers for 30 feet for the ladies and those over 70 (not many of those in our park).  The regulation markers of 40 feet are still there.  Roger’s says the shoes are hooked on the backstop.  Maybe some of you would like to form a tournament sometime.  Think about it, it just takes someone to organize it.
