Greetings one and all. If you are sitting comfortably then I shall begin. Here’s this month’s birthday boys and girls from among the Senior Center regulars: Joan Spears, Judy Basehore, Jim Lindsey — ‘Many Happy Returns’ to each of them!

Greetings one and all. If you are sitting comfortably then I shall begin. There were attendances of about 100 people at The Grange on both Friday and Saturday for the AV Theatre Guild’s production of ‘Cocktails with Mimi’ and having attended on both evenings I know they were delighted to be there.

Greetings one and all. If you are sitting comfortably then I shall begin.

As a result, I don’t have much to report, although to be honest, apart from the regular [...]
