Our Activities Director Tim the Tour Man says:
Activities Report – December 2018 Hello everyone! As the holidays approach, the Club normally has a lull in the activities as celebrations with families and friends take precedence. However, that does NOT mean that there are no activities! Upcoming Activities: First up is another Wheeling Nailers game on December 15, 2018. The game starts at 7:05pm, so as we've done previously, we will meet and go to dinner somewhere before the game. This game has several special features. First, there will be an appearance by pro wrestling legend Mick Foley, who has appeared

as various personas including Cactus Jack, Mankind, and his own name. According to his Wikipedia page, he is 4-time world champion, 11-time tag team champion, and the inaugural WWF Hardcore Champion. BUT, if pro wrestling isn't your thing, no problem! It's also ugly sweater night, so dig out your best example and get on the big screen. If neither of those float your boat, it's also Teddy Bear Toss night. Please bring a plush figure and hold onto it. When the Nailers score their first goal, everyone gets to throw their teddy bears onto the ice. They are then retrieved (naturally) and donated to local needy families for the holidays. Ticket price is $15 and I will collect the money at the December meeting, at Baja Bar & Grill on December 5. The next event is a group outing to the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank in Duquesne on Saturday, January 12, 2019. We will get a tour of the facility and the opportunity to help them with the work that they do helping to provide for those in need in our community. Our "shift" will be from 9am to 1pm. Please remember to bring some non-perishable food items to this event. Afterward, it's likely that we will go somewhere afterward for lunch. Suggestions are welcome.
*****If you are interested in Hockey Night in Wheeling or the Food Bank opportunity, please send an email to Tim at [email protected].***** Finally, don't forget the upcoming Holiday Party on January 19, 2019. Details and the reservation sheet are provided elsewhere in this newsletter. Happy Holidays and Seasons Greetings to everyone! Tim Baker GPMC Activities Director [email protected]

Hero Firefighters Save Vintage Shelby GT350 from California Fires
Associated Press photographer Ringo H.W. Chu
As you assuredly already know, the ongoing California wildfires have caused so much destruction on such a large scale that it’s hard to put it into context. Countless homes, acres of forestland, and even lives have been lost as a
result. Meanwhile, a host of brave firefighters continue to battle this massive blaze. Putting their own lives on the line to stop the destruction. Which includes, apparently, saving the life of one lucky 1966 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 in
Malibu. For the rest of the story by Brett Foote, The Mustang Source.com, click on this link: https://themustangsource.com/firefighters-save-vintage-shelby-gt350-california-fires-28608/
