I am writing this prior to the Hog Roast in order to meet press time. We contracted for 320 dinners for the Hog Roast

It gives me great pleasure to announce Olivedale has received $10,800 in grant monies for the construction of a shelter house on the grounds. This was awarded from the Fairfield County Foundation in response to the 2003 request of the board, spearheaded by member Jacque Gray. 

What good are those membership badges anyway, you may ask (I have). Evidently what started out years ago as the plan to have your badge with you when at Olivedale has become lax at various occasions, or for various individuals. With all things considered, it is the only feasible way to show you are an up-to-date member of Olivedale. Until a better way is found, members expecting to reap the benefits of Olivedale membership are reminded to have their membership card while at the Center. It is your identification as a current member and you will be supporting consistency and fairness to all.

Join Us for Lunch

Join us September 28 at 12:00p, bring a dish to share and we will eat at noon. Drinks and table service are furnished.

Rock & Roll 50’s Style
Do you know “Love Letters In The Sand,” “Wake Up Little Susie,” “Only You,” “Bye Bye Love,” or “Do You Wanna Dance?” Do you remember The Drifters, The Platters, Fats Domino, Nat King Cole and The Four Tops? They were all hits and artists that made it big in the 1950’s. Olivedale is having a 50’s dinner/ dance October 23. In addition to great dance music, you can request your song for Karaoke singing. All members and their guests are welcome. Go ahead and wear your peddle-pushers, skinny ties and saddle shoes if you want. We bet there are even some poodle skirts still out there. More details in October newsletter.
