LUMINARIA PROJECT FOR CHRISTMAS EVE WILL CONTINUE
Members of the Pine Knoll Shores Garden Club will be visiting your homes in mid-
November with information sheets and order forms for luminaria kits consisting of paper
bags and long-burning outdoor candles. These kits will be delivered the first week in
December for use at the annual candlelight celebration along the streets and waterways
of our community on Christmas Eve. Many people buy extra kits to add a special glow to
their holiday parties. If you will be away during the Christmas season, you may wish to
contribute a kit for use at Hall Haven or Brock Basin.
Dennis Mvinden, of the Cartereit Garden Center, spoke at the October 14th meeting of
the club. Mr. Munden, a frequent and popular speaker at the club, discussed fall plant
care and plantings. Hostesses for the meeting were Helen Granger, Yola Hanan, Janet
Hannula and Becky Moore.
The Katie B. Hines award for Civic Achievement was awarded the Pine Knoll Shores
Garden Club last spring by the North Carolina State Garden Club for their ongoing volun
teer help and financial support of the North Carolina Aquarium's indoor plantings. The
award is on display for the year at the Aquarium book counter.

ANCIENT MARINERS
As we suspected, fall weather finally arrived and chilled the air along about time
for our Season-Opener in Jacksonville on Monday, October 5. Bowlers who were knocking
all sorts of pins over admitted this was good for bowling. Those who were having scrnie
early-season problems were heard to comment about how gorgeous this weather was for golf.
Well, cheer up, all you folks. As the weeks go by the early low-scorers will certainly
come along nicely. And the early high-scorers just might tend to fade a touch. Like the
sages so often comment, time will tell.
On September 28, a week before Opening-Monday, exactly 70 bowlers and supporters
turned out for the Kick-Off Banquet at the Bogue Banks Country Club. Planned and coordi
nated by the new League Officers, Saucy Chef, caterers, served a delicious stuffed breast
of chicken sit-down dinner with all the fixings. [This writer projected a $10 dinner
tab which turned out to be $11. Inflation works in strange ways sorry about that.]
Marty Hare our new League President introduced the 1987-1988 officers and committee
people. Bob Kent is Vice President. Dot Herbst will be our Secretary again this year
while Ellie Long replaces Jack Oakey as treasurer. [Jack has moved to Morehead City so
b^^on't be bowling with us this season. He will be missed.] Louise Meyer is Historian,
Wallace, Awards Chairperson, and Jack Morris will again cover Publicity. Mary Korff
will chair the Nominations Committee and Larry Jerome will continue as the official
League Photographer. Mary and Dick Wiker agreed to coordinate the Mid-Season Banquet
in January.
