Kare Bears Annual Fall Luncheon is Back
After a 2-year hiatus, our popular Fall Luncheon is back and will be held on November 9, 2022 in the Tuscany Ballroom. It will be an afternoon of “Denim and Diamonds” with lunch, live entertainment, a 50/50 drawing, a multitude of RAFFLE PRIZES, and a SILENT AUCTION.
ALL RESIDENTS ARE INVITED! Come meet your neighbors. Doors will open at 10:30 am and lunch will be served at noon. Remember to bring cash or check for the raffles.
There are 3 choices for lunch: a Trio of salads, Southwestern chicken wrap, or a Vegetarian ciabatta. Cash bar opens at 10am. Entertainment will be provided by the Desert Harmony Trio as you peruse the many raffle items and sign up for the silent auction. Start getting your holiday gifts early and support your Kare Bears organization.
Lunch will be served at noon, followed by awards and prizes. The afternoon will be highlighted by the presentation of the Founder’s Community Service Award honoring an extraordinary PebbleCreek volunteer. Exceptional Service Awards will also be given to a few outstanding Kare Bear volunteers along with the Friends of Kare Bears award to an individual or business who has performed a particular service for the Kare Bears.
Tickets are $35.00 per person which includes lunch, beverage, dessert, taxes and tip. They will be on sale at the Eagle’s Nest kiosk from 10 am until noon on every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday in October until they are sold out. You can reserve a table for up to 10 people with names, phone numbers, and your of lunch choices. Unfortunately, we cannot take credit cards. Please make checks payable to Kare Bears.

Kare Bears Presents is all about Medicare in October! Every year there are changes in the Medicare program and most of us are not aware of them.
We have the option of making changes to our Medicare insurance plans annually, but unless we know what our options are and how they affect us personally, we can’t make a good decision.
- Are Medicare costs going up?
- Are Medicare plans changing this year?
- What are changes to the Prescription Plan Donut Hole.
On October 26th Kare Bears will present a two-part event to cover this complex topic. First, there will be a speaker who will give us general information regarding Medicare, Medicare Advantage plans (HMOs, PPOs, etc.), Medicare Supplement plans (Medigap), options under Medicare and upcoming changes.
There will also be a panel of subject matter experts who can assist with your specific needs. All experts were recommended by PebbleCreek residents.
Kare Bears' goal is to supply you with the information you need to make a good financial decision for your medical care.
OCTOBER 26th - 11 AM
EAGLE'S NEST BALLROOM
No RSVP Needed
Admission is FREE.
