The geese are back by the millions, filling the sky with their pretty formations and looking for food on their way north. The red polls are more plentiful as they come north for the summer.

Entertainment at River Heights Lodge on the afternoon of March 30 was by members of the Meota Lions Club chorus and from the Presbyterian Church choir. Together they did a fine job. It was a well-received program consisting of singing some of the old songs, a recitation, a solo by Charlene Rederberg and some of Bob's jokes thrown in for a laugh here and there. Lunch was enjoyed after. It was the birthday party for March celebrants and some others who had been sick or unable to attend when they had the February party. The tables were set up nicely with decorations and the birthday people sat at the head table.

Frank Poole, a senior from Edam, flew to Phoenix and Yuma, Ariz. over the Easter holiday with his family to visit other family members down there. It was a delightful trip, as he accompanied Karrie and Darren Nordell and their family to visit his son Gary and Elaine and others there. Most of the snowbirds are back and mostly they had a good winter, too.
