READ AGAIN LIONS CLUB READING GLASSES GIVEAWAY Do you find that newspapers are using smaller print making it hard to read? Maybe you need reading glasses. Goodwin House Foundation, in cooperation with the Bailey s Crossroads Host Lions Club, will distribute reading glasses in the Rotunda on Wednesday, August 22, from 1:00 4:00 p.m..

The crew only has to make one more bombing raid before they have finished their duty and can go home. In the briefing before their last flight, the crew discovers that the target for the day is Bremen, a heavily-defended town that invariably causes many Allied casualties. Also see the dog that steals the show. WELLS FARGO BANK SHUTTLE GHBC Transportation will be providing a shuttle to the Wells Fargo Bank in the Trader Joe s plaza. This shuttle service will begin Tuesday, August 21. Since we do not want to overwhelm the bank with a busload of customers, we will be using one of our smaller vehicles and providing transport every half hour. Please sign up for a time slot in the Resident Business Center so the driver knows who and how many to expect. The schedule is as follows, with adjustments to be made if necessary: Tuesdays 1:30-4:30 p.m. on the hour and half hour Thursdays Fridays Community Updates 9:00 a.m. - 12:00 noon on the hour and half hour 1:30-4:30 p.m. on the hour and half hour COMMUNITY CORNER As we all know, on the fourth Thursday of each month, all of the GHBC residents are invited to a Town Hall meeting. Believe it or not, this activity has a very interesting history. In the beginning, and there is always a beginning, the Executive Director of Goodwin House West, David Burke, created what he intended to be a fireside chat that he called Hi Tea. (He must have had a good sense of humor.) He would meet with a few residents in the old living room and, over a cup of coffee or tea, and would have an informal chat. As the number of residents grew, the new Executive Director, Linda Lateana, moved the Hi Tea to the Atrium. Hi Tea became more informative than just a friendly chat and soon had to be moved to The Top of the West and, ultimately, to the Auditorium. Teas and coffee along with sweet cakes continued to be provided as a resident treat. Since small, fireside-like chats were no longer the purpose, the name was changed to Town Hall. Justin Carwile, our current Executive Director, continues these informative and issue sharing talks and has added an Agenda. Thus, every resident knows what is on his mind. Time is still provided for residents to raise their concerns or note points of interest. Realizing the importance of such a gathering, as well as appreciating the refreshments, residents at GHBC make it a point to attend. We look forward to seeing everyone next Thursday, August 23, at 2:00 p.m., in the Auditorium Dottie Moser, Resident
