Now, the FunBuzz recap:
Jon started the November FunBuzz by telling us what he was gonna talk about...
then he talked about it.
New SandPeeps, or at least new to FunBuzz, were introduced.
I know I missed a few, and names may be mis-spelled,
but here are the names of most:
Lou & Alma, Tom C., Joanne & Danielle, Janet (Mel), Bob & Roycie, Cindy & Larry, Eric & Cathy, Patty (Russ), Charlene...who'd I miss? Tell me!
******
The calender touch screen was explained and after FunBuzz
all were invited to one-on-one instruction if needed.
But I noticed most people didn't take up Karen & Jon's instruction invitation
so I guess everyone know how to do everything...right?
The calender link is in the left side column of this blog.
Click on it.
When you get to the page, click on the triangle icons in the bottom of each day's square. That will give you more detailed info.
So I probably don't need to go into too much detail about upcoming events, but here goes....
