SENIOR CITIZENS Tuesday, Feb. 21, 2006, we met at Wagon Wheel Hall for our meeting and Annual Valentine’s Party. Decorations were “bouquets” of red paper hearts in white vases as table centerpieces. Large red hearts and red angels were hung here and there. Each member received a Care Bear Valentine from the committee, Betty B, and me. At 1:30, President Roland welcomed all and called the meeting to order. Prayer and Pledge were followed by song, “Let Me Call You Sweetheart.” Roll call was made by Bea, and 37 members were present with two guests, Jeanne and Harris Myers who, before meeting’s end, joined our club. Welcome to you both. The Secretary, Treasurer, Sunshine, Entertainment, and Ticket reports were made. Travel Lady Betty reported on upcoming St. Patrick’s trip to “Whites” in Westport. A trip to Martha’s Vineyard is in the works…more later. President Roland announced our next meeting will be our Annual Card Party. We are reminded our “suggestion box” is available; we want your thoughts, ideas and suggestions. Betty and I held a short program with songs, “Heart of My Heart,” “I Love You Truly,” and “Smiles” sung, and readings about love were read by members Bea Brodeur, Chet Leasot, Jackie DeFranco, Al Casucci, Millie Miner, Don Renaud, Eileen Lemay, Mike Zugrovich, Betty Baldyga, and Marguerite Desmond.

President Roland announced that he must be replaced as President of our club by May. We need someone to come forward to fill the chair for the remainder of the year. Vice President Lee is not able to move up, and Roland has agreed to serve as Vice President if necessary. He has many other commitments that take a lot of his time and energy. As of this writing, we hope all will go smoothly. Al Servant was welcomed back from a much-needed vacation with his daughter in Texas. He had Mardi Gras colorful beads for anyone who wanted them. Thanks Al and stay well. Our next meeting will be our St. Patrick’s Day celebration, chaired by Marguerite Desmond. The Money Raffle was held, and a 50/50 drawing was won by Ed Boisvert.

Large red and black hearts, diamonds, spades, and clubs were the decorations for the day. Playing card centerpieces were on each table. It was another memorable “senior” day. Thanks to all. ‘Till next time. |
