The December 3, 2013 meeting of the Bunco Group was held with a number of players all quite interested in celebrating the start of the Christmas Season. This meeting meant a no-host dinner composed of various covered dishes for all to enjoy. And following the sampling of all dishes by this energetic group, they all drew numbers to distribute their gifts. Play for a very short time then got underway somewhat lazily as all players were still enjoying their dinner. Next meeting will be January 7, 2014. And if you decide you want to participate in this funloving activity, contact Shirley Gordon at the Library for further information.
BRRRR! I guess Winter is here, even unofficially, when we get mornings of 35+/-! I know it’s more than a little chilly walking my little Schnauzer, especially when I head into the North wind! Granted, we’ve been forecast a chilly Winter by the Farmer’s Almanac, just wish the sun would come out too! But that really doesn’t stop those bundled-up fishermen! And if you want to see what the winds do here, check out the attached picture of the Santas by Cotton’s place.
Our local chapter of the LIONS CLUB organization, though currently small locally, has a lot on its upcoming schedule including the Second Annual Arts & Crafts Festival on Saturday, March 8, 2014. Contact the President, Joyce Jordan, 655-7999, for further information concerning that event. And if you think you’d like more information concerning this active group, the first meeting of the New Year will be Wednesday afternoon, on January 8th at 4:00 p.m. in our Bank.
If you enjoyed listening to our School children singing at the Sr. Luncheon on the 6th of December, they performed again on Friday, the 10th at our local Bank, and once again, at the annual Christmas Program as staged by the Elementary School on Tuesday, December 17th prior to Christmas Vacation. Do hope you had the opportunity to be there and hear these excited singers as coached by Diane and Jim Cooley, wonderful residents who have taken over the musical training of these kids. The responses from these kids are phenomenal, and they enjoy as do you their performance.
Why is it that there are so many people who seem to be suffering from lack of confidence or personal insecurity complexes that they must raise their voices to denigrate so many others? Sadly, this is not just a local problem, although it has become very apparent within the last few days, but a global problem as well. For those who have this lack of confidence, they must exert themselves into a position of control and power, and heaven help so many others. Often you find this in a store where someone blocks the way on an aisle and refuses to move; this is their power over you. What is even more sad is that this push for control is coming at the most glorious season of the year, our Christmas Holidays.
I welcome any correspondence from any organization re their happenings or information to add to this column. Also welcome any remarks from our readers, good or otherwise.
