November 24th- Oh, what a beautiful morning!   The sun was warm and the sky was blue!    Eight of us (and three adorable doggies) enjoyed the great outdoors!  On our loop, we saw two hawks gliding above us and a coyote looking for breakfast.   We enjoyed the smell of sweet strawberries as we passed the large gardens.

Women Health Center of Greece members attend Palomar District Fundraiser- Hobo Games!

 Hobo Games took place on November 21st at the Fallbrook Woman’s Club.  Guests could reserve a table for four and play any table game they wished.  We saw guests playing Mahjong, Scrabble, Dominos, Puzzles, Rummy…  Non “gamers” had the opportunity to create beautiful blue pinwheels- the symbol for Child Abuse Awareness.  We were served “Hobo Stew”, entertained by our own Palomar Hobo Band (Ann and Butter were members of the band) and Butter won the Hobo Contest.
