Ahhh, Once again the neighborhood is slowly making its annual transition to “the Dark Side”. Witness the incursion of creatures of the night and from beyond. Dare I walk at night not knowing what lurks behind every bush? The custom of visiting houses with ghoulish characters for purpose of being rewarded with confectionary treats escapes me, but I’ll take that risk just to be rewarded with my favorite candy, chocolate of course!

Upcoming Events

Get your calendars out and mark these dates down for planned events for the remainder of the year.

October 2865th NSC Anniversary Dinner – We had a great time at our 60th Anniversary Dinner so be sure to sign up for this Anniversary Dinner. There will be great food and the opportunity to see friends and members you probably haven’t seen in quite awhile. Take a look at the flyer and get your checkbook handy.

November 4  – NSC Pickleball Event – Tina Woo and Jeanne Katsuro are at it again with another Pickleball Event. At the rate these two are going with the ever-popular Pickleball they’ll be in the Summer Olympics. See the flyer for details.

November 11 – NSC Bowling Event – Jeff Honda, one of our new board members, has arranged for NSC to occupy a few lanes at the Homestead Bowl where we can show off our dexterity at rolling a ball to hit a bunch of lined-up ten pins. Now, I haven’t put on a pair of bowling shoes since the late 50’s and this will be a test to determine if I’m left or right handed. Come join the fun and laughs at this first-of-a-kind event. And yes, there will be lunch afterwards. See the flyer for details.

Website Transition

Morgan Hua, our behind-the-scenes Webmaster, discussed with the board that our web site hosting service is going up in price and that we should eventually move to another hosting service. Plus, our mailing capability is getting outdated and that service should also be moved to another host. So, in the next few months we’ll be looking at how to best transition from our current services to a newer service. As we progress to implementing a transition you will be notified of any changes.

2024 NSC Jackson Hole – 27 January to 3 February

The Jackson Hole trip is fully booked with 6 2-bedroom units and 4 3-bedroom units. However, there are additional 2- and 3- bedroom units available. New applications will be accepted but put on a Waitlist until a condo can be filled.  So if you’re interested in going then now is the time to let me know because by the middle of October there will be no more applications accepted.

QotMExperience is something you don’t get until just after you need it.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
