Golden Age News : : New ovens installed at Senior Center by Ada Murray The folks who were going to entertain en-tertain for us last Monday were unable un-able to come. But we sang happy birthday to three special ladies, Doris Bodily, Leah Mann and Norma Gardner. The Center was closed on Nov. 28. and 29, so some new ovens could be installed in the kitchen. We played Bingo on Monday, Nov. 27. Winners were George Long and Mildred Long in first place with five games, and Norma Simper in second place with four games. Friday, Dec. 1, Edda Bingham and Chris Palmer placed first with four games each and Rachel Brough, Hoyle Robinson and Mildred Long placed second with three games each. The number of people who came to the dance Friday night was pretty scarce. If more people don't support sup-port the dances, we will have to close the dances down in the near future. Support of Center activities in general have slackened. Take a minute and think about what we'd be doing if the Center would suddenly sud-denly fold up. On Tuesday, Dec. 12, we will be going on the Christmas lights tour in the evening. If you would like to go, call or come into the office at the Golden Age Center to make reservations. After the tour, there will be a chili supper provided for us. Quote of the week: "The little things are most worthwhile. worth-while. A quiet word, a book, a smile, a listening ear that's quick to share another's thoughts, another's care. Though sometimes they may seem quite small, these little things mean most of all." -Margaret Lindsey.
