',Golden agers meet Members of the Golden Agers club held their June meeting in the form of a picnic. Due to the wet weather plans had to be changed from the park to the township hall -- but the 40 that attended had a good time anyway. Everyone enjoyed the pot- luck supper, followed by a brief business meeting. Then games and a contest were played and several draws were made. A few rounds of solo and euchre ended the evening, and it should. be noted the next meeting won't be until September.
