Seniors take trolley to Thanksgiving Point By Claire Willmore The Thanksgiving Point Trolley, which made its debut on Feb. 1; is offering seniors the opportunity for a morning morn-ing out to play bingo and make new friends. Every Thursday morning, the trolley picks up guests from the Orem Senior Center and the Jacobs Senior Center to take them to Thanksgiving Point to play bingo. A group of seven from the Jacobs Center Cen-ter went on Feb. 27. Elna Burgener, who works at the front desk of the Senior Center, donated two afghans she had crocheted to be used a prizes for the bingo winners. Her husband was sad to see one of them donated donat-ed because he thought it was one of Burgener's prettiest creations. Burgener is always working work-ing on a project, said her friends at the senior center. She's able to finish one in a couple of days. "These afghans are really from all of us," Burgener explained. She makes each one using leftover yarn given to her by her friends. Even though she puts them together, togeth-er, they represent all who have contributed. The first winner of an afghan was Verna Grace from Lehi. Burgener spoke to Grace after the drawing to tell her that there was another anoth-er person with the same last name in her LDS ward. In fact, she continued, the Grace Burgener she knows donated the white yarn that was used in the afghan Verna Grace won. Burgener said she was amazed to find out that the two Graces are, in fact, cousins. "Isn't that amazing?", marveled Burgener. The trolley picks up the seniors at 8:30 a.m. and brings them back by about 12:30 p.m. There is no charge for the trolley and interested individuals indi-viduals are asked to sign up by calling 785-2818 or by stopping by at 242 W. 200 South in Pleasant Grove.
