One of the organizations that we have joined is Lions Club International. The local club is almost all retirees with 60 or so active members. The major fundraiser of the year is the Moose Lake Festival held in August. I have worked on the publicity committee since January. Remember the 10 am meetings in local bars? Well, now I know that I have arrived because I have been asked to work on the rummage sale part of the Festival. They call it a White Elephant sale here. That group has a name: Dumpster Divas. The township has allowed us to use a garage on the recycling/garbage collection property. We gather, sort and price items that are dropped off every Wednesday and Saturday mornings to get ready for the August event. What fun! We play several games: what is it? which one of us is going to open that awful-looking box? what are we to do with this broken object that the donor wants us to sell?
There you go...the exciting life of a retiree.
