Last Friday, Nov. 6, the members of the 127 South Senior Center met for coffee, sweets and conversation. Tammy Melton of Quality Home Health Care read blood pressures and brought gifts for the morning bingo game. Carol Kirkland called the numbers, and a good time was had by all.

President Shirley Phillips called the general meeting to order. Joyce Kappel led the morning prayer and the pledge followed. Reminders were made regarding the Kroger and Food City coupons; there will not be bluegrass pickin' Nov. 26, Dec. 24 and 31; and the Woodmen of the World bingo game set for Nov. 17 with special annual year-end prizes at the Fair Park Senior Center at 10 a.m.

Members were also reminded that a free lunch or dinner will be provided at Golden Corral to all veterans on Nov. 16, and the DAV will hold a turkey dinner on Nov. 13 at a cost of $6. The community is always welcome.

Jan then went over her kitchen report for September and October. She reported that both the Carl Hurley show and the Colorado trip for next year are sold out, but she is taking names for a waiting list for both trips. Those going on the Dixie Stampede trip Dec. 12 will leave the center at 10:30 a.m. Members will need to pay for that trip by Nov. 27.

The Thanksgiving dinner at the center will be held Nov. 20 at a cost of $5. The Christmas dinner will be on Dec. 18 and is free to members, but you will need to sign up so that she can have a count by Dec. 14. D.J. Garrison will be entertaining everyone that day, and the lunch will be catered. Mark your calendars that bingo will start at 9 a.m. that day.

Carol Kirkland reported on the condition of many members and/or their families. She received a "thank you" from Barbara Jones for all the members' contributions after the fire involving her family. Remember to continue to pray for Doris Fraser, Dorothy Kearley, Betty Swopey, Bud Garchow, Herb Hofmann, Bob Dorman and Pat Mount.

Connie Tyler mentioned that her group, who will be making cookies, will meet Nov. 10 and 23 at 10 a.m. at the center to get the project going. You can still come help if you wish.

At the conclusion of the general meeting, everyone was entertained by Tommy Fincher, Chris Weyant, Rose Garchow and George Robinson. "Why Not Take All of Me," "The Tennessee Waltz," "Load of Dynamite" and "Ring of Fire" were just a few of the great songs members love to hear, and this group does a fine job and they thank them.

After the table blessing, a nice lunch of casseroles, salads, vegetables, some leftovers, desserts, coffee and tea was coordinated by Sharon Hilton and lots of great help. Thanks to all. See you next week.
