OTHG 10-06-2022 ANNOUNCEMENTS
Sign In Sheet Remember, If you are not on the sign in sheet, you stand zero chance of winning the door prize. 

There will be a Women’s Conference. Thursday evening at the cowboy church just about 5 miles up the road.

WE’VE CUT the breast meat in half. please take only one piece the first time through. 

Take home meals. To save the club the expense of purchasing take out containers, Members who regularly like to take home leftovers are being asked to bring their own containers. I will even ask, if you have suitable containers (you know what I mean – margarine and cool whip tubs etc) that you can donate, we’ll try to keep those on hand for this purpose. Take them home and return them next time. 

 CONTRACT: Yesterday I signed the contract with the city for the use of this building for another year. 

I received assurances that we will not be restricted to only the days and hours shown in exhibit A. 

It comes down to this: the city owns this building and we operate here at their pleasure. 
We provide them with a valuable service to the area seniors and it costs them nothing but the utilities and upkeep of their building.

The first Tuesday of November and the first Tuesday of December. Pat will be leading us in crafts. November a Gnome Wreath. December painted rocks with a Christmas theme.? 

Margie also had some craft ideas she would like to share. (2nd Tue. of Dec.) Watch for those announcements check our web pages www.overthehillganglhtx.com

This was mentioned last week and I’ll ask again. Do you crafters have a craft in which you would like to instruct us? Talk to one of the board members to be scheduled 

By the way, you DO NOT have to drink coffee. Come for the fellowship and whatever else is going on.

Speaking of coffee. Since no one was drinking coffee this summer, we stopped making it. However, if you would like coffee, it only takes a few minutes to make. 

FIRST FRIDAY POTLUCK AND GAME NIGHT is coming up Tomorrow October 7th from 7pm ’till 9ish.

We are now using the building on Tuesdays for coffee, crafts, conversations, and more. 
Wednesdays for Bible study starting October 12th 3-4:30
Thursdays lunch and games
Friday evenings on the FIRST FRIDAY every month for Potluck and Games 7-9ish 

I’d like to see us do more for the area seniors and put this building to more use. Our in-house neighbors use the building from 8 to 2 Monday, (Tuesday), Wednesday, and Friday and I don’t want to inconvenience them either. So any additional activities should be planned for after two o’clock. I’m asking for ideas.  

Joke:  Having heard my stories about the Good Old Days, my son asked me what was so great about those days. I answered with a sky grin, “Well, I suppose it has to be because, back then, I was neither Old nor Good!” 

Prayer: Bless this senior center, Lord, and those who gather here. Let it be a place where we can meet to eat and love and laugh and pray. Amen.

OTHG 09-29-2022 Announcements
Have all y’all signed in? If you are not on the sign in sheet, you stand zero chance of winning the door prize. 

 CONTRACT: we were under the impression that the city council meeting was scheduled for 6:30 last night. We arrived at 6:15 and the contract had been read and voted on, and passed. I have not seen the updated contract and have not signed it. I’m in hopes that it has been corrected

The first Tuesday of November and the first Tuesday of December. Pat will be leading us in crafts. November is a Gnome Wreath. December will be painted rocks with a Christmas theme.? 

Margie also had some craft ideas she would like to share. Watch for those announcements check our web pages www.OverTheHillGangLHTX.com  

How about you other crafters? Do you have some craft ideas that you would like to lead us in.
Bad grammar. Do you have a craft on which you would like to instruct us? Talk to one of the board members to be scheduled 

Our in-house neighbors Our Village or Ability Center have decided that, as often as they are able, they will not be here on Tuesdays. That way their clients will not be wandering into the Tuesday morning coffees. 

By the way, you DO NOT have to drink coffee. Come for the fellowship and whatever else is going on.



FIRST FRIDAY POTLUCK AND GAME NIGHT is coming up … not tomorrow …  next week on October 7th from 7pm ’till 9ish.

Thursdays, Tuesdays, and once a month Fridays.   How many would be interested in a Wednesday afternoon Bible study. 3 to 4:30. We are going to begin on October 12th.

Please … one sandwich per person until all have been served …  then seconds will be available.


Joke:  There are four stages of old age: You forget names. Then you forget faces. Next, you forget to zip up. And finally, you forget to zip down.

Prayer: Be present at our tables, Lord. Be here and everywhere adored. This favors bless and grant that we, may feast in fellowship with thee. Amen

Board Meeting of Over the Hill Gang     Thursday, September 15, 2022The OTHG Board met to address a question that will amend the OTHG By Laws:  What if a member who needs help (for example, a member who cannot drive, or is in a wheelchair, or uses a walker, or is injured, etc.) is accompanied by someone who is under 50 years old and is acting in the capacity of their caregiver?  Can they attend OTHG activities while caring for this member?  OR if a member has a spouse/life partner who is under 50?  Can they become a member?

All Board members were present, and after discussion, Tom made the motion that under 50 years of age spouses/life partners and/or caregivers of a member can become an ‘Auxiliary member’ if they want to and be allowed to attend all activities with the member they are caring for.  They will not, however, be able to be on the Board or vote.  
The motion was seconded by Janet Ross and unanimously accepted by all Board members. 
We can now present it to the membership for approval.  We need 15% of the total membership to approve any changes of bylaws.
Tom also told us that the present contract with the City of Liberty Hill, which has not yet been signed, limits our use of the building and he will see to it that it is changed back to 24/7 use for us.
Respectfully submitted,
Merle Rouillard, Secretary

The OVER THE HILL GANG has a yearly contract with the city of Liberty Hill for the use of “our” building. The current proposed contract, unlike previous years, lists specific hours that OTHG may use the building. We are seeking to change that. Mayor Liz Branigan sent us the following email.

Liz Branigan lizbranigan@gmail.com wrote:     Tom, We will be taking this contract to the city council Sept 28.  Our. Meetings include public comments.  Any citizen may speak for three minutes during that time.   It would be nice if several people came to speak wearing their shirts. thanks, Liz

If at all possible, I will be there at 6:00pm. for the 6:30 meeting. I invite you all to come in support. Wear your Over The Hill shirts if you have them.
