Joaquin
Senior Center Newsletter for November
- November 18, 2009
By Mona Brandt, Director
Well, everyone here has survived
the rains and floods and now it’s
on to Thanksgiving and beyond.
Things are looking up around here—I
have talked to Judge Rick Campbell
and the Shelby County Cookers are
going to give the Center a fund raiser.
We are running on a wing and a prayer
at the present—and let me say
that it is a big prayer and one heck
of a wing!!! The Lord is looking out
for us and I know that HE will help
us.
Birthdays this month include: Gene
Arbuckle and Aaron Blount on the 4th,
and Nell Waggoner on the 26th. We
will close on Thanksgiving Day and
re-open on that Friday.
Claudann Jones was here on the 16th
and then A Piney Woods will be here
on the 19th.
The week of the 23rd thru the 27th
we will be setting up our crafts for
the Christmas Festival that the City
will be having on the 28th. We sure
do have some cute ideas in crafts:
there’s the ever popular Joaquin
Rams Key chain, Christmas Trees made
out of huge pine cones, some of these
pine cones came from Florida, then
we have angels—all sorts of
angels! I understand that a person
can and will be able to do all their
Christmas shopping right here I Joaquin
that week-end. There are vendors from
everywhere coming to this, so, save
your money and come on down!! I know
that we are all looking forward to
it and also the fund raiser later
on. Speaking of the fund raiser for
the Center, a date has been set--The
Shelby County Cookers and Linda Kay
are going together and having a great
big Bar-B-Q and pickin’ and
grinning’ at Haslam Sales on
the 16th of January. All proceeds
will go to the Center!!! We want to
invite all of you to come out on that
day and help us keep this Center up
and running! We need each of you to
help us and have some fun along with
it!
We have been blessed this month in
the fact that we have added five new
members; Thomas Anding, Gloria Shumway,
Joyce Martin, Rayford and Lula Bell
Denley. We are so proud to add to
our list these wonderful people. Have
a great Thanksgiving and don’t
forget the 28th is when we will open
out doors to all to see our crafts
and for you to do your Christmas shopping.
God Bless! Mona
