A number of the seniors enjoyed the barbecue fundraiser May 20 for the local museum. A nice sunny day made the event enjoyable and profitable. Thank you to all who came and to all who donated even if they couldn’t stay for lunch.

The monthly meeting was held June 3 with Shannon Smith presiding. Flowers for the containers are ordered but have not yet arrived. Other flowerbeds are to be looked after by a helper who has been hired.
Two of the members have volunteered to keep the Monday cards and Wednesday bingo going in July and August for those who are not away for the summer. They will also look after the lunches. See you there!
I missed both cards and bingo last week, as I was away for a brief visit to the home of my daughter Linda and Larry Fiddler. On the trip down we saw a few small herds of antelope and one very black moose. Some of the fall-planted crops were already in head. On the way home we saw the same black moose, one dead coyote and lots of dead gophers. So much for wildlife. Weather and roads were perfect.
