> Saturday, June 9, 2012 - We will have our annual potluck/picnic at 1:00 PM at the Gardner's (106 1st. Avenue in Hampton) for our June chapter meeting. Bring a dish to share - meat will be provided.  We will have ice tea, lemonade, and coffee available - feel free to bring your own beverages if you like. Besides great food and fellowship, we will do some walking along the Mississippi River and around the village of Hampton. We will have a special speaker, and, maybe, a game of "string ball"! Bring friends and relatives if you wish.  Those needing transportation should call Bob Gardner at 309-236-6606.  Also call Bob if you want information on how to get to the Gardner's by bus.

> Friday, July 13, 2012 - We will be riding the Loop! What is The Loop Bus?  The Loop bus runs around the Quad-Cities, making stops at such recreational spots as Bass Street Landing, Moline; Isle of Capri, Bettendorf; Village of East Davenport; downtown Davenport; The District, Rock Island; and back to Moline.  You can get off at whatever stops you want, then later jump back on board to continue your adventure.

I suggest you be there no later than 5:15 as buses sometimes run early.  We will then ride the bus to The District in downtown Rock Island, eating dinner at a restaurant there.  After dinner, we will reboard the bus and make stops at nightspots in downtown Davenport and the Village of East Davenport.  Then back to Moline, which might be around 11 PM.  Note that if you get pooped, you can skip a stop and simply ride the bus back to Moline at any time.  The cost of a bus pass for the evening is $3, and please have exact change.

> August 11, 2012 - Swim Party and Pizza at the Montgomery's.  Thanks to Lois and Russ, we will again have a Blackhawk Chapter swim party. It will be at their home at 3527 12th Avenue, Moline.  Plan on arriving around 3 PM.  We will have pizza and soda for dinner, and we ask for a $5 donation to cover food and drink costs. Everyone may bring snacks or special beverages of their choice.
