All ladies of the village are welcome to join this group. AN ACCIDENT 12 year old Denise Suchor, of W. Lake Shore Drive, was taken to McHenry hospital emergency room after an accident at the beach last Sunday. Denise fell from a rope swing, and broke both arms when she landed on the ground. A seventh grader at Montini, Denise is able to attend classes, but she will be in casts for six to eight weeks. SURPRISE PARTY A surprise birthday and slumber party was given for Cathie Erdmann, Aug. 31, by her sisters, Sue and Pattie Milbratz. Cathie returned from work, to find the yard decorated, and her friends waiting for her. Those present were Dawn and Donna Beshk, Mona and Kathy Bitterman, Cindy Bruce, Leslie Walter, Gloria Milbratz and Wendy Cunningham. The girls played games, and danced and talked till the wee hours of the mor­ ning when they finally fell asleep. BEACH GALS Since the village hall is still under construction, the Sept. 5 meeting of the Beach Gals was at the home of president Karen Parks. The Gals are having a demonstration party Wed­ nesday, Sept. 19, at 7:30 p.m. Interested persons are invited to attend. Any profits from this sale will go into the Beach Gals fund, for future benefit to the village youngsters. The demonstration is to be at the beach house, which ^ill be available for use at that time. The next official meeting is to be Wednesday, Oct. 3, at 7:30 when new/ officers will be elected. Sijnce the group has expanded so much, three of­ ficers will be elected, instead of just two as there were last year. GET-WELL Best wishes for a speedy recovery to president George Luto who had surgery, Sept. 6. Mr. Luto is a patient at McHenry hospital. LOST AT SEA Les and Phyllis Venable spent a good part of the Labor Day weekend on their 16 ft. Century inboard on the Fox River. They had a bad ex­ perience Saturday night, when they started out for an hour's ride at 9 p.m. made a wrong turn somewhere, and got lost on the river. As it got later, other boats disappeared, and Phyllis said it was empty, dark, and spooky riding around, not knowing where they were. They went through some marshy areas, also some very shallow spots, where the boat would hit bottom. It was 4 a.m. before they found their way back and were safely docked. Some pretty worried kids were waiting at home when the Venables returned. Next day, they were out in the boat again, only this time it was in the afternoon. RELAXING AROUND HOME Among those who stayed around home over the holiday weekend were the Thackers, and their guests, Barbara's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jay Benesh of McHenry. Long time friends of the family, Mr. and Mrs. William Crutchfield, whom the Thackers hadn't seen in seven years stopped by, adding to the pleasure of the weekend. Donna Gates' parents, Mr. and Mrs. George Houtchens, from Louisville, Ky., stayed with Donna and Glenn for the weekend. They brought Don­ na's two year old niece, Rachel along, and she had lots of fun playing with the Gates children, Mike and Roger. The Franklins, Raycrafts, Parks, and Rowes took ad­ vantage of our fine beach area, by having a Labor Day picnic. The Regners, Martinis and Muises were there, too. When it started raining, they all took shelter in the village hall, and then resumed their picnic when the storm was over. Relatives from Chicago and Arlington Heights visited Art and Vi Sullivan on Sunday, and they all enjoyed swimming in the Sullivans' pool. Dale Wilson was home from college and able to spend the weekend with his parents, Ron and Joyce Wilson, at W. Lake Shore Drive. FAMILY CAMPING Members of the Scarbrough family from McHenry and McCullom Lake got together -for a weekend of camping in | Montello, Wis.

The adults went fishing and canoeing, and the kids did a lot of swimming. They all flew model airplanes. There was plenty of food and drink, and sports and singing. All agreed it was a real great weekend. NEW NEIGHBORS - New residents are Ron and ' Joyce Alwin, and their four cute blonde children. The Alwins live at 5214 W.
