The 127 Seniors met last Friday for coffee, pastries and lots of conversation. They missed the group that had gone to Cape Cod, but they managed to have a great time anyway! Gene Brown called the bingo, with prizes furnished by Buckeye Medical Equipment.
Phillips called the general meeting to order by leading everyone in the Lord's Prayer, followed by the pledge led by Bob Kirkland. She reminded everyone that there will be no bluegrass pickin' on Thursday night at the center; aluminum cans and items for the corridor sale in August are being collected, and Food City and Kroger coupons are available.
Mark your calendars for the cruise on the Knoxville Star on July 8, the picnic on July 17 at Obed Park and Music of the Cumberlands at the Playhouse on October 16, with more details to follow. Also, there are seats still available for the Williamsburg and Jamestown, VA, trip leaving Sept. 20 for four days and three nights at a cost of $385 per person for double occupancy. Please see Jan for further details and reservations at the center on Friday. Remember, this trip is open to any member of the community.
Carol Kirkland gave members a report of her calls and cards sent to several members who have been ill and asked that everyone continue to pray for Herb Hofmann, Glenn Huggins, John Snyder and Joann Barker and Jay Fox.
Carol then introduced the members to Anthony Lochbough and his beautiful dog Ruby who are both deputies in the Sheriff's Department. Ruby is a very well trained search and rescue dog. Anthony explained the nature of their work, how he cares for Ruby and of some of their greatest results. This information was very interesting, and members had lots of questions.
The center had three individuals join as new members. They are Angela and Harvey Nolette and Gil Lokey. Everyone welcomed them to the center.
After the table blessing, everyone enjoyed a meat loaf lunch provided by the center along with many casseroles, vegetables and desserts all prepared by members. All of this coordinated and presented under the direction of Mary McClure and lots of volunteer help.

The River WILD!
The Big South Fork of the Cumberland River winds its way through the 125,000 acres of the Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area before flowing into the Cumberland River and Lake Cumberland in Kentucky. It’s a free-flowing river, with no dams to control release of the water, but the scenery and the magnificent rock formations make it a favorite of paddling enthusiasts who watch the weather to see if they can get out and explore areas that are hard to reach by foot.
