Our Next Lunch Dates? Nov 5 and Nov 19 

Member PERK: NNN Members receive $5 to use to offset lunch costs.

Come lunch and visit with other NNN members and guests
November 5th:  meet at 
Claire’s Pantry in Edmonds. Then on November 19th, join fellow lunchers at Jersey’s Great Food & Spirits in Shoreline.  (Details are on the Events page.)

Announcing a new pilot just for members & volunteers of NNN: We realize the cost of food, labor and just about everything else is going up, up, up. Starting this month, on a trial basis through the end of this year, NNN will provide any NNN member or volunteer with a cash supplement of $5.00 at the end of the meal. (Non-members are not eligible for the cash supplement.) Nothing else is different. We meet at 1:00 and everyone still orders what they want and pays for their own meal as usual. 

More information for each lunch can be found on the Events Calendar of our website.

Ginger Spells

Member/Volunteer Team Up for Halloween Treat Fun

Ginger's Witch Sharing Spells with Neighbors

A happy haunting was had by all at this home, thanks to the help of Pat Kenney, one of our volunteers. Pat helped put up the black plastic background and string lights in our member’s carport to create an appropriate hangout for the two lovely(?) residents who had treats for both kids and adults.

 

Candy was served out of a coffin for the kids, and the member shared some "special" eggnog for the parents.
