Volleyball, bocce ball and badminton are some of the events planned. Rumor has it that Quentin is something of a volleyball star in Belgium so try to get on his team if you can!

See you there.

ACRC Chicken Drop a Success
by Brown, Corinne


The ACRC Chicken Drop was a success thanks to the combined efforts of many members of our club.  Doug Dore spent time and energy building and organizing the board. Duanne Hammond took care of the advertising.  Charlie Shields not only donated the ornary rooster and several other chickens to complete the event but also energized the business community to donate prizes to the winners.  There were many winners and the event raised just over $200 for the renovations and additions to the Alton Senior Center. 

 

In addition to all of the fun and entertainment at Old Home Day there was also a parade.  Thanks so much to Dave Countway, Duanne Hammond, David Bloser, and Rick Fogg for helping to put together a spirited float that helped to bring community awareness to the Alton Senior Center.
