CROSSVILLE —
Bingo began at 9 a.m., called by Arlene Simpson. The prizes were donated by Buckeye. A good time was had by all attending. Dominoes were played in the main hall... no prizes, just lots of fun. Last week I failed to acknowledge that our bingo gifts were donated by Bob Folger of State Farm Insurance.
Following bingo, our meeting was called to order by President Emil Neitzke at 10 a.m. Opening prayer was led by Sharon Hilton and Gabby Gambaccini led our Pledge of Allegiance.
Several new members were introduced, Rama Smith, Frances Threet and Ken and Judy Messer.
Jan Neitzke reminded us of our next trip to Renfro Valley. This will be on March 9. This trip includes dinner and a bluegrass show. The bus will be leaving at 2:30 p.m., so get there early to sign in with Jan before boarding the bus. We will be returning around 9:30 p.m.
Sunshine lady Nancy Fincher read the list of members who are ill or recovering from surgeries. We ask that you keep them in your prayers. She also announced a benefit for the Obed Watershed on March 23 at 6 p.m., starring Sam Venable. Cost is $20 and you may call Stone Memorial for reservations.
Game day will be Tuesday, Jan. 22, from noon to 2 p.m. and we’ll be serving pizza. We will be playing games like cribbage, dominoes and pool. This is a side function for the seniors who sign up and contribute to the lunch with Rachel Schellinger.
Member Joy Moyer announced that former members Gina and Joe Broughton will be moving to Florida on Tuesday. They belonged to the Exchange Club at Tansi. Anyone knowing them might want to stop by and wish them well.
Following the meeting, our entertainment was by our member, Bob Jones. He sang some great ‘50s music for us and then some gospel music which is his forte. Miss “T” loaned him the music for the ‘50s music. Thanks, Miss “T.”
Emil Neitzke closed the meeting and then led our prayer song before adjourning for a great spaghetti lunch prepared by Ginny Herbert and her kitchen staff. Spaghetti was the main dish with lots of sides brought in by members. No one went home hungry.
We always need volunteers to be dish scrapers, coffee servers, dish wipers, so be sure to check the list and sign up if you are able. By sharing these jobs, we keep the lunches running smoothly.

Plateau Gardening: Transplanting tips
My landscape is perennial–based. There are vines, trees, shrubs as well as herbaceous (soft-stemmed) vegetation in assorted categories-ornamentals, herbs and food crops like rhubarb. Annuals in containers are used to add splashes of color. At this time of year, I usually have a few recently purchased plants waiting to be transplanted (see the accompanying photo).

Fair Park offering help for senior dog owners
A dog is a senior's best friend. Family and friends are not around much, and everyone is so busy. After retirement the free time seems to be longer. Many seniors would be very lonely if it was not for their four-legged friends. Dogs are a big part of the family, so they need to learn to be obedient to make it easier on the relationship.

Around the Town: Attendance is the Key to success in Cumberland County!
High school attendance is up and 10 cars have been given away. This is all thanks to some forward thinking educators along with Dave and Connie Kirk and the staff at Dave Kirk Automotive. This year marks the 10th anniversary, or a decade, of what the high school students call "Dave Kirk Drawing Day." Or, in layman's terms, some junior or senior from Cumberland County High School, Stone Memorial High School or Phoenix School wins a brand spanking new vehicle.
