In Short....Thanks!

Remembering 2008... through the year we have had several very faithful fellows who have continued to keep the grass mowed. These guys are: Kelly Deputy, Darrell Mirus, Richard Mirus, and Fred Peters. If I have missed anyone, we thank you too.

*************************************************
Jim Parker was the one who put up two rows of much needed coat hooks. Thanks Jim for a job well done.

*************************************************
The coffee sipping fellows need to be commended on their efforts in cleaning our overhead light panels and replacing burnt out bulbs. Thanks fellows. Thanks to the person(s) who leveled the pile of gravel compound(?) left from the walking trails.

*************************************************
Since the last newsletter two Welcome Baskets have been delivered to Joshua and Melanie Parker, Rock Creek Road, and William and Tina Dollard on Eureka.

Dianne Henson and Dianne Parker needs to be commended on the beautiful job they did in decorating for our EHC meeting. The great part of that was that they left so much of it for us to enjoy for our Christmas Program. We can’t forget Linda Wilkinson, Beverly Patterson, and Shirley Donnahue for the great job in collecting and packaging all the goodies for our Christmas bags.

*************************************************
Several new activities and chairpersons have been added to this year’s calendar. Please take time to mark these events on your personal activity calendar and plan to participate. You are sure to have fun at these events. It is always a joy to see new people being added to a group because of the expertise they will add plus all the new ideas that will be added.

*************************************************
Our Volunteer of the Year again offered his services when we needed more welcome baskets. Thanks Wesley.

Thanks--There is always one who answers the call when there is a need. This time it was jelly jars. Ina Daley had seen some at a church function. When she knew we needed some, she came to the rescue. If you buy Smucker’s jams and jellies, you have the perfect jar to save for us. So if you have some or will start saving them, please let me know. Call Jeanette Gibbs, 997-1582.

*************************************************
There seems to always be a need for supplies when a facility is used. The community building is no exception. It seems the treasury of all of our groups are being watched so as not to overspend. So we are asking each person receiving the newsletter to help us if at all possible. There is a need for paper or foam plates, dessert plates, 9 or 12 ounce plastic red or blue cups, napkins, lots of paper towels, a bottle of dish soap, bleach, windex, and toilet paper. If you can help us, please bring or send your donations to the community building. Any amount at any time will be greatly appreciated. We will thank you in advance.

*************************************************
This has truly been a great year of cooperation from both our old and new members and friends. Have a wonderful 2009.
