The 127 Seniors gathered for coffee and conversation last Friday. Those who went on the Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard and Plymouth Rock trip shared pictures and tales of their experiences. It was very nice to have many of the members back who had been away or ill. Frank Knapp brought his daughter and son-in-law, Marilyn and Daniel Johnson, who were visiting him from Bradenton, FL, and the members also enjoyed Shay from San Diego, CA who is spending some of his summer vacation with his grandmother, Mary McClure.
Carol Kirkland called the bingo, with prizes being furnished by Dr. Galloway of Cumberland Eye Care. Everyone was most appreciative of his generosity. Gabby Gambaccini presided over the meeting, as many of the officers were absent. Joy Moyer led the prayer and Bob Kirkland led the Pledge of Allegiance.
There will be a benefit for Jay Fox at the Palace Theatre on Monday.
Ann and Warren Albright celebrated their 58th wedding anniversary, which received a big congratulations and a round of applause.
The next trip will be a luncheon cruise on the Knoxville Star on July 8, and, unfortunately, there are no seats available. lf anyone is interested in the Williamsburg and Jamestown, VA trip scheduled for Sept. 20-24 at a cost of $385 per person with double occupancy, please stop by the center on Friday for more details and reservations. Jan will give more trip information next week along with her treasurer's report for June.
Carol provided updates on the medical condition of Joan Barker, Glen Huggins, Herb Hofmann and Rose Garchow. Please remember them in your prayers. She proposed that on Oct. 23, 2009, she would coordinate a program around members who have lived all their lives in Cumberland County or in the state of Tennessee. The group was favorable so everyone is looking forward to that. Members were then entertained by Rock Allison with many country music favorites.
After the table blessing, members and guests enjoyed a summer lunch of hot dogs, baked beans, potato salad, desserts and much more. They owe a big thank you to Ginny Herbert, Mary McClure and Betty Barnett for a great job of putting it all together.

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.
