In September we displayed the new, much-needed custom-built utility closet, which includes space for the carpet for carpet bowling.Our Thanksgiving Feast on Oct. 12 was spectacular with turkey, ham and all the trimmings, including scrumptious desserts. The committee members were the organizers and the seniors attending donated the rest of the food to make it a great success.We lost some dear members this past year, Roy and Ellen Woolverton and Ernie Chapman.
