MAIDSTONE — Cards were cancelled Dec. 1.
Bingo was played Dec. 3 with Margaret MacEachern and Denise Newton doing the calling. Dorothy Harmel assisted by Bev Stewart provided lunch.
Cribbage was played Dec. 7 with high score going to Denise Newton and low to Dorothy Kissick.
The senior Christmas supper was held Dec. 14, capably catered by the Catholic ladies. A small crowd of 35 attended, for a variety of reasons. One was illness, another was the men’s legion choosing the same night for their Christmas supper We have had our supper on the second Sunday in December of the last 20 years. Doubling up does not work in a small town. The centre had a new rule that each member could invite only one guest. Non-members could not attend.
Prior to the delicious supper Vince Gerlinsky played Christmas music. Grace and happy birthday were sung. Seated at the November and December birthday table were Joyce Weston, Noelle Coulthard and Sharon Ruud. Missing were Doug Holmberg and Joyce Orange.
The program was cut short due to the absences and illness of participants. Lunch followed with Christmas cake baked by Joyce Jeffery and oranges provided by the centre. A thank you goes to the high school students who came and set up tables for this event.
Cards were scheduled for Dec. 15 with only two members showing up, so they did some cleaning instead.
The Christmas bingo was held Dec. 17 with a good turnout. Margaret MacEachern did the calling. Wrapped Christmas prizes were the order of the day and each player went home with at least one prize. In charge of lunch was Lil McMillan added to by Christmas cake and organs left over from the Christmas supper.
Cards were played Dec. 11 with Dorothy Schwartz providing lunch. High score went to Bev Stewart and low to Dorothy Schwartz.
I would like to wish all our senior members and readers a healthy and happy new year in 2015.
