LEADER'S MESSAGE

Hi Kosmos Members!

October is a month bursting in color, where the leaves on the trees change, bringing so much beauty around us. I love the cool, but not cold, days for walks through the neighborhood or our many parks.

We have a lot of fun events this month: mini golf, chili feed, Bunco, game day, movie day, and Sunday football—besides our eating-out places. I hope you can attend some of these events. Have a wonderful month!

—Sue R., Kosmos Leader

GOLF, POOL, OR SHUFFLEBOARD: HAVE A FUN DAY AT TEE TIME!

We've a fun afternoon planned at the new Tee Time, the largest indoor mini golf facility in Washington, on Sunday, October 6th. It's located in the Midtown Plaza, in Kennewick, at the corner of 4th and Vancouver, next to where the old Spaghetti Establishment used to be.

Besides an 18-hole miniature golf course, they have arcade games, shuffleboard, and pool tables, so you can choose your sport of choice—or enjoy more than one of those games if you like! Come try it even if you have never golfed!

The price for 18 holes of mini golf is $9.99 for those 55+ as well as for kids 13 and under. (You are welcome to bring your grandkids.) There is a bar where you can get cold beer, soft drinks, and bottled water. Snacks are also available for purchase in vending machines.

Above: Cable Bridge replica on the Tee Time golf course.

If you have any questions, please call Donna W. or Carolyn W. You can leave a voicemail or text as well.

It promises to be a fun afternoon, so plan to join in with other Kosmos members!!!

A GAME DAY COORDINATOR & A SUPER BOWL HOST NEEDED

We are in need of a Game Day Coordinator! The job involves contacting members to see if they can host Games at their home or community recreation facility. The Game Day Coordinator informs Activity Leader Carolyn W. and Newsletter Leader Sharon G. of the monthly host's name and the date and time the host has chosen (it can be an afternoon or evening) and driving directions.

Hosting events in your home or community clubhouse is also a good way to get to know more Kosmos members! We still need a host for our February Super Bowl Party.

Please contact Sue R. or Carolyn W. if you can serve as Game Day Coordinator.

Call Carolyn W. if you interested in hosting our Super Bowl Party—or any other Kosmos event!

INTERESTED IN BEING PART OF A KOSMOS BOOK CLUB???

One of our newest members has offered to help form a Kosmos Book Club. If you are possibly interested in joining in on this endeavor, please contact Janie P., who suggested this as a potential new Kosmos activity!
