S t Patrick's Senior Center BULLETIN BOARD g S jft By Liz Straley For the month of June, Ernie McCabe was busy Monday morning doing his wall decorating at the meal site dining room, with colorful flowers, bikes, kites, boats and different designs of "Old Sal" and decorating the tables with baskets of spring flowers. Exercise class was held Tuesday morning and there was one card table of players, with the coffee pot on and snacks served. Marion Murcheson was in Hermiston for a good part of the day and Velma Wight and son Gary went to Bend to do some family business. Also, Dorns Graves was out of town this weekend for a grandchild's graduation. The puzzle comer was available, with Sylvia McDaniel and Bud Lundell in for a cup of coffee and a snack. There were 102 diners and takeouts on Wednesday, with general kitchen help from All Saints Episcopal Church. For the datebook, Corol Mitchell announced that the "Bingo Bus" will be ready to go at 5:30 p.m. on the first and third Thursdays of each month. On June 12, there was a bus going to the Arlington Masonic Hall for the senior meal site lunch. The driver was John Church. On Monday, June 25, the bus will be leave at 10:30 a.m. for Stokes Landing in Imgon for lunch. John Church will be the driver. Sign up or call 922-3603. On Tuesday, July 10, the bus will leave at 10:30 a.m. for a shopping trip to Wal-Mart in Hermiston and lunch, so bring your "fat wallet" and good walking shoes and don't forget to ask the helpful staff if you can't find what you want. I speak from experience as it is a big place. Around 2 p.m. Wednesday, we had a bit of excitement as the volunteer firemen and fire truck showed up at the center looking for a fire. Fortunately there was none. It seems the police/fire alarm for the center went off and the fire dept, was alerted. The police and manager Marion Murcheson checked out every place and all was well and back to normal. We hope it wasn’t a prank or crossed wires. Bud says, the first Chrysler car was a "Maxwell" with the Chrysler logo on the radiator. That was Jack Benny's car if you remember the radio days. Exercise class was held on Thursday morning. Lunch was lima bean soup with ham, fresh combread and peach cobbler with ice cream and beverage. The afternoon movie, Walt Disney's "Pocahontas," was enjoyed by all. There were two card tables of players on Friday with coffee and a good assortment of cookies and snacks available. The puzzle comer was busy. A note to the wise, if we do not use the bus or it is not in use much, we may lose it; so give it some thought. On Wednesday, June 13, the Father's Day lunch was taco salad (beef, tomatoes, onions, grated cheese and lettuce), tater tots, kidney beans, rolls, tortilla chips, gingerbread and beverage. lone Fourth of July golf tourney planned Violet Deborah Lanham The lone Fourth of July Violet Deborah Lanham, 84. died Celebration Best Ball Golf Saturday.
