Mr. Bill’s traveling trivia show returns to Heppner The Heppner Day Care will again sponsor, on Nov. 20 beginning at 7 p.m. at the Elks Club, the fun and entertaining Mr. Bill’s traveling trivia show. The event as a fundraiser for the nonproit organization. Entry forms are avail- able at Heppner Day Care or on the table at the post ofice. Though teams may enter on the evening of the show, early entries are strongly encouraged. A table will be reserved with the team name for every early entry, and early entries will help with starting the show on time and help to prevent delays at the door. The entry fee for each team is $150, which breaks down to just $25 per person on a team of the allowed and suggested six members. Though individual team members often pay their own entry fees, anoth- er suggestion is to recruit a sponsor for one’s team. A team can have from one to six members. The members of the A View from the Hill By Doris Brosnan Willow Creek Terrace viewed October as one month that highlights the diversity of interests in America and still begs the question: “How do some of these interests end up with special recognition on the national calendar?” Days devoted to foods: Home- made Cookie Day, Apple Betty Day, Angel Food Cake Day, Cake Decorat- ing Day, Boston Cream Pie Day. Days celebrating zaniness: Mad Hatter’s Day, Silly Sayings Day, Halloween. And, of course, some serious topics: Co- lumbus Day, Fireighters, the Navy, Learn-a-Word, Pastoral Care, United Na- tions, Make-a-Difference. Some designated days could be viewed with vari- ous attitudes: Bosses Day, Mothers-in-Law Day...? The November calen- dar continues to provide the morning discussion group topics to ponder and days that offer residents reason to celebrate with some tasty treats. The men had a good laugh when asked last week if they wanted to take over the kitchen on Men Make Dinner Day (5 th ) – thanks but no thanks! (That might have been a wise decision important to this week’s Senior Safety Week?) And everyone enjoyed a chuckle on International Tongue Twister Day (7 th ). Some other topics this month: world kindness (13 th ), recycling (14 th ), hik- ing (17 th ), Mickey Mouse’s 1928 birthday (18 th ), smok- ing (19 th ), games, puzzles, family, the Bible (22 nd -28 th ), individual talents (21 st ), small business (28 th ), and square dancing (29 th ) – How many other generations three top-scoring teams at Mr. Bill’s will receive prizes, as well as bragging rights, but every participant will have an equal opportu- nity to win a door prize at some point in the evening. The day care also will be rafling some baskets. Participants are re- minded not to use phones to look up answers; desig- nated individuals will be watching. “This fundraiser is critical to the operation of Heppner Day Care,” says know what that last one is? Foods with their designated November days include the vanilla cupcake (10 th ), pizza (12 th ), fast food (16 th ), fudge (20 th ), gingerbread (21 st ), parfait (25 th ), French toast (28 th ) and mousse (30 th ). National Geography Awareness Week begins on the 16 th , and in preparation for that, the dining room now has a large wall map of the world.
