DSPHC Junel 2007 Newsletter

Thanks to all who turned out for our June meeting on the 15^th, at the Lighthouse! We had a record turn out of 37 people attend, and although we were on a short time schedule, we still managed to squeeze in quite a bit. I presented the fund raiser checks to Suzanne from MERR and Edna from The Alzheimer’s Association. We also had Melinda from the Amish Parrothead Club attend our meeting. She brought with her the quilt her club made (which ahs our club shirt as part of it…) and the really cool motorized cooler, which she sold quite a few raffle tickets on. Hopefully one of our members will win!! The picture of the quilt on the internet does not do it justice. It’s awesome! The Alzheimer’s Association donated a stadium blanket and two travel insulated mugs for us to raffle off. We had a few items we raffled off and raised $110.00, which is being put in the Christmas Fund. Our next meeting is going to be held on Saturday July 21^st, at the Lighthouse at 7:30 p.m. That date is also the Dolphin Count, so I hope to have a good turn out for that function. More info. will follow for the dolphin count. The next meeting will also include a 50/50 drawing, as well as more raffle items being offered. That’s all for now, enjoy the summer and hope to see you all soon!

In order to reserve your room at the Holiday Inn, you must first register for *Stars.* You will be contacted by the Holiday Inn in the order of registration to reserve your room. No exceptions!!

NOTE: If you request a balcony room, you will be expected to decorate it! Many Stars' guests have waited years for the chance to show off their decorating skills, and we get fussed at when balconies are left naked - and cool balconies add to the festive atmosphere.
Registration Info:
We will close registration on August 17 or when we hit 275 people, whichever comes first, and Stars has sold out the past four years. Island time is cool, but we'd hate for you to miss out on all the phun!

No tickets will be issued; your name will be checked off our list at the party.

Please include the following information:
1) Contact person's name, address, phone number(s) you can be reached at most often, and e-mail address

Proceeds will benefit Greater Richmond Chapter of the Alzheimer's Association and St. Joseph 's Villa.

*Please note: *Stars* is an adult party, and as much as we hate imposing this restriction we ask that you not bring children with you, or if you must, that you make arrangements for them to remain outside the party area on Friday and Saturday. 21 years of age and older, please.

*Canine companions: The Holiday Inn is a pet-friendly hotel, and we're dog lovers, too, but the area around the pool gets very congested. Please plan on keeping your dogs outside the pool fence, for their safety as well as that of our guests. We appreciate your cooperation.
