Activities continue with several new things going on.
First, we have Colleen Crandall starting up a group to do paper crafting on Wednesdays at the community center. Here, people will work on their own projects such as card making, scrapbooking, journal writing, recipe collections and more. Colleen mentions that they would love new ideas, so if anyone has any, just mention it. The main idea of this class is to have fun.

Another new and exciting game that we play is cribbage. This is hosted by Bill Quinn and Linda Rogers. Our first game was on Feb. 5, and it sure was fun. You really have to keep on your toes. Even beginners can enjoy this game as there are other players, who are well versed in playing, willing to teach. I just know that as time goes on, the amount of people looking to learn this fun game will grow.
On Feb. 1, we had a Super Bowl party at the community center. There was chili and cornbread and more. The kickoff started at 6:30 p.m., and about 35 attended. If some people decided not to watch the football game, they created their own game of Mexican Train or Rummikube, and all had a fun time.
On Feb. 3, several women attended the Lunch Bunch and had a very good time at A Matter of Taste restaurant located in Dade City. There were 18 women who attended. A group picture was taken by one of the girls. This lunch was hosted by Rosie Semian, and our thanks go out to her for arranging this get-together.
We have also added to our library DVDs. Brian Heidman was nice enough to undertake this project and build a cabinet for the community center. In addition to this, Linda Tutin is taking care of the books. We now have much reading material and DVDs to borrow and watch or read at our leisure. Our sincere thanks go out to Linda and Brian who take care of the books and DVDs that are in the library.
On Feb. 7, Jim and Judi Leitzke, along with their helpers, put on the monthly egg n’ bag. The helpers were Galen and Sue Parker, Colleen Crandall, Clayton and Carol George, Jane and Maurice Thayer, Fred and Sam Sage, Doris Sutfin, Ken and Cheryl Leone, and Jim and Dora Mae Sinner. They served over a hundred people. As usual it was done to perfection, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed it. Our sincere thanks go out to all who worked on making this breakfast.
