The 127 Seniors met on a beautiful day for the usual game of bingo, coffee, sweets and conversation. Arlene Simmons called the numbers, and Buckeye Home Health furnished the gifts. Fred Zoeller, president, opened the meeting, and Brenda Williams gave the prayer, followed by Frank Knapp leading the pledge to the flag.
Jan Neitzke gave the treasurer's report for January, followed by the trips list. The final payment for the Savannah trip is due March 2. Money for the Murfreesboro/Bell Buckle trip is due in May. The bus for that trip will be leaving the senior center at 7 a.m. that morning and returning around 6 p.m. that evening. The date is June 12, and the cost is $50, which includes lunch.
The three-day trip to Helen, GA, will be July 10-12. More details to follow, but this trip will include a stop at Warm Springs, GA, and Callaway Gardens. The trip for August will be to the Country Music Hall of Fame and the trip for September will be to Falcon Rest Dinner Theater. October will be the trip to the Grand Canyon. The November trip will be to the Grand Ole Opry, and a trip in December will be to Pigeon Forge for a Christmas show.
Nancy Fincher gave the sunshine report and asked everyone to keep the following in their prayers: Doris Fraser, Dorothy Conklin, Pat Mount, T.C. Lewis and Mario Gambaccini.
Fred reminded everyone about the Feb. 24 election for a new board member. Also, game day will be Feb. 28. Keep buying Kroger coupons, bring in items for the 127 sale and enjoy free bluegrass music every Thursday evening at the center.
Bob Jones provided gospel music. After the table blessing, Jan. Neitzke and her kitchen helpers served cubed steak along with sides brought in by members.
