The January social for 1-30 has been cancelled and rescheduled for February 6 due to the record low temperatures expected. Next week we will meet at Huckleberry’s and you may bring your HDD donations of adult beverages, gift cards, lottery tickets, empty baskets, tropical items, or cash for the purchase of raffle and auction supplies. If you are unable to attend, call Dee Robbins, Anke Mass, Anne Hoeper, or Steve VanLerberghe for a pick up. As always, please come to the social to celebrate QCPH friendships, donation or no donation; come and socialize. Fins Up

“Margaritaville” is coming back to Wisconsin.
Jimmy Buffett is bringing his Coral Reefer Band back to Alpine Valley Music Theatre July 20 for the first time since 2016.
A perennial at Alpine for years, Buffett bypassed the East Troy amphitheater the past two summers to instead play Wrigley Field in Chicago.
His absence in 2017 contributed to Alpine’s first full-season closure in its 40-year history, after operator Live Nation was unable to secure any acts that summer.
Alpine reopened in 2018, hosting five shows with Dead & Company, the Zac Brown Band and Brad Paisley. The outdoor amphitheater also will host Hootie & the Blowfish Aug. 23 as part of the band’s comeback tour after a 10-year hiatus.
Weather is looking good, so it looks like we’ll be outside on the patio. The staff wear masks. Come thirsty, as they boast 100 beers on tap. The charity is Down By The Creek and below is their wish list. Also, food orders are done cafeteria style (front left as you go in the door), but they do bring it out to your table when ready.
