I was thinking maybe we could have a trip to Lake Hilaca and go on a Pontoon boat and have a good time fishing, etc. I am told they hold thirty to forty people with room to dance in the center. I would also like to hear from those of you folks who Mould like to start a Horseshoe or Dartball playing bunch like we do with the Bowling. See you all at Congregate Dining.
