Super Bowl Sunday!
There is a group of GCSA members that are going up to the clubhouse ballroom for the Super Bowl celebration. Let’s get some more members and spouses to join us and sit together and have some fun! The tickets (purchase at activities desk) cost $10 and include food. Doors open at 4:00! Hope to see you there!
Pancake breakfast fundraiser # 2 is in the books!
The second Pancake Breakfast of the year took place today and Gold Canyon residents enjoyed pancakes, orange juice and our famous sausages! After serving 364 patrons at our first breakfast two weeks ago, we followed with 336 today! According to senior member Tom Inch, the GCSA has never done two 300+ servings in the same year. Thanks to all our volunteers and GCRV residents for another successful fund raiser for our softball association!
And of course, Darcy was in rare form!
Change of food for the Pit on Tuesday!
Because of late afternoon game scheduling for the Miners on Tuesday, we had to make a shift of the food being made that day. Chris Charlebois will be taking the leftover ham from the Pot luck, and supplying ham bun sandwiches. Thanks for stepping up Chris, it’s much appreciated! The sloppy joe sliders that were scheduled to be made by Kevin & Carol Wike, will be shifted to the following Tuesday(Feb 14th). Hope to see you all there!
World Baseball Classic games in Phoenix!
The World Baseball Classic starts on March 7th. Phoenix is one of the host cities and is hosting Pool C which includes Team USA, Canada, Mexico, Columbia, and Great Britain. The GCSA is looking for any members interested in attending the USA vs Canada game on Monday, March 13th, at 7:00 PM at Chase Field in Phoenix. Chase field is the Arizona Diamondbacks stadium. We can get pretty good seats for approximately $60.00 per person.
At this time we can get seats grouped together, but the sooner we purchase them the better. So I’m proposing that if you’re interested in going, please notify Kevin Wike by email ([email protected]) of your intention to go and have the money(cash or check) to him by Friday, February 10 at noon. The tickets will then be purchased.
Darcy is having a recycling pickup/dropoff this afternoon!
If you have any cans or clear plastic bottles to get rid of, text Darcy at 780-933-5344 and he’ll pickup at your site or you can drop off at site 384 on New Mexico today.
Head over to the next Pit gathering this coming Tuesday from 4:00-6:00 – food, food, food!
Steve & Ginger Charlton are cooking! They’re making appetizers this week – PULLED PORK SLIDERS! Come on out for a great social event!
Let’s have a GCSA welcome for two more new players – Jim Varner and Doug Mills!
Welcome to Jim Varner and Doug Mills! Can’t wait to meet you!
We’re having a great year for adding new players – to date we have added 8 new players to our ranks this season!
Let’s help out Steve and Ginger Charlton’s granddaughter!
Hi everyone! Our granddaughter, Emrys, will be holding her annual Girl Scout cookie sale at our site on the 21st and she’s asking for your support.
The sales will help cover her troop’s service project of creating period packs for the homeless, as well as help fund their three-day trip to camp in California this May. While at camp they work hard to earn their badges and have some fun! If you’d like to help her reach her goal, you can support her by buying some cookies!
Starting today you can pre-order your cookies to guarantee that they won’t run out before you can get to them, but be quick! Pre-sale ends January 16th! Emrys and her grandpa, Steve, will deliver pre-ordered cookies at 2:00 on the 21st after the in-person sales.
Here is her link:
First Pancake Breakfast of the season a rousing success!
Our first GCSA pancake breakfast since March 2020 was today and it can be classified as a rousing success!
248 pre-sales and 116 at the door equals a total of 364 PATRONS! Senior members of the association agree that this is definitely a new record! We also had a total of 40 volunteers from the association that worked the pancake breakfast and they have to be given all the credit for todays’s success! Everybody shook off the rust and picked up right where they left off almost 3 years ago.
50/50 tickets winners were Dan & Nancy Taylor($195). The woodworking items(Bowl and rolling pin) Kevin Lavoi made and donated, went to Craig Bloemke and David Schaaf.
The association wants to say a big THANK YOU to all the Gold Canyon residents for coming out and supporting your softball teams! We look forward to seeing you at the next one on February 4th!
Way to go GCSA!
Great gathering at the Pit this past Tuesday!
What a great gathering it was at the Pit this past Tuesday. Some of the senior guys mentioned that this was the biggest gathering at the Pit “in a loooong time”.
Everyone brought plenty of food and drink and a good time was had by all. Let’s continue to make this social event a priority for the GCSA! We’ve got a bunch of new members, our organization is alive and well!
See you at the Pit on Tuesday (depending on weather)!
Head over to the Pit on Tuesday from 4:00-6:00 – there will be food!
