Hello Everyone, my cousin sent me this warning about a new hacker scam so I copied it to send to you all. What will "they" think of next? Unnerving & disgusting.

"Apparently someone has found another way to hurt and offend people for No reason. Here is a heads up for everyone. There is a new hack on FB. It includes a hurtful phrase coming from you. It is usually very dirty and appears that you have written it. You will NOT see it, but your friends will. This creates many misunderstandings. So to all of my contacts, if anything shocking, inappropriate, or indecent shows up ,it's not from me. You may wish to copy this to your wall."

BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND!!!
A NEW Murder Mystery Dinner Theatre is in store for you on Friday, Nov. 10, 6:30 pm at The Inn at Speculator on Route 8! The doors open at 5:30 pm for check-in and social hour. Call Joy before Nov. 3rd at 518-548-3194 to register. The cost is only $25 for the delicious buffet dinner and the play!

This new Murder/Comedy is entitled murder "Matrimony at the Tanner-Pond Wedding" and is a Gem Radio Theatre Production, written by George DeChant and directed by Hannah Jay. The actors are generously donating their time and talents for this fund-raiser for "The Friends of the LP Library" and The Inn is also sponsoring us.

Tiffany Tanner has decided to make her “boy toy” Robert I. ‘RIP’ Pond an honest man in the 2017 social event of the Adirondacks. But RIP is a little queasy in the stomach... is it nerves, something he ate... or something much more deadly? The wedding is the big event of the fall with the Who’s Who of the Adirondacks coming together at The Inn to celebrate this union of wealth and fame. (You, dear audience, are the Who's Who!)

The play, “Murder-Matrimony”, starts out like all comedy capers….. with a murder! It’s possible that the groom (RIP) may not be able to
make the wedding as there is a lot of dissension between the two families. The animosity comes from a lot of directions:
--Tiffany’s bridesmaid, Ria Seerh, was seen in a very uncompromising
yoga move with RIP.
--He also owes just about everyone money because of his gambling addiction, including his best man Barry T. Lush.
--The bride’s sister and wedding organizer, Tyra NiCall, has had it with RIP’s seemingly money-grabbing and even.....
--his mother Poly Michal has become hysterical over RIP’s ability to burn up his family trust in three months. Poly is especially angry that RIP would embarrass the family by marrying a woman 40 years his senior.

The only one without an ax to grind (or pill to spill) is the Reverend DeeDee Clare, who is, by weird irony, the town’s homicide detective. And the question is, will her investigative skills become more valuable than her matrimony expertise?
Each character had a reason to kill the groom, but which one?? There is only one killer and will probably not be telling the whole truth when interviewed.
Understand that the characters want to solve the mystery as
much as you do...after all, they are all suspects and finding the
killer takes the heat off them. (There will be a prize for the right anwer!)
So, give Joy a call now to reserve your spot and join us for this fun evening at the INN!!
