The funny thing is, I consider myself a winter person. I love the cold, the snow, and the dreary days when I can hide indoors with a good book (right now it’s "Aleph" by Paulo Coelho). My husband even calls me Morticia. But even I suffer from the winter doldrums and this year I seem to be plagued with them earlier than usual. I usually don’t get tired of winter until sometime in late-March or April, but this winter — like a lot of this year — has taken me by surprise.
I find myself dreaming about spring and summer — and forgetting to enjoy the present moment and all it has to offer. Yes, even March has something to offer! So....
Here are two upcoming events to mark on your calendar. Both are organized by the Penfield Rotary, and participating in them helps support the many programs (see earlier blog post) that Rotary undertakes to benefit the Penfield community.
For Euchre Lovers: Euchre Tournament held on Sunday, March 11 at The Legacy in Penfield. The grand prize is a 32-inch flat screen TV. Tickets are $20 per person until March 9, and $25 per person after that. Registration information is online at the Penfield Rotary website.
Not a card player? Is golf your game? Then you’ll have to wait until June for Rotary’s Golf Tournament held on Monday, June 4, 2012 at Shadow Lake. Mark your calendars now for this because the event is always a good time with prizes, hole-in-one contests etc. I’ll keep you posted as this gets closer....
Have an event you want me to mention in the blog? Let me know and I’ll do my best to work it in.
