Our fourth annual Appreciation Luncheon was held March 25, at the community center. I wasn’t able to go because of a previous commitment, but I spoke to Joyce Bell, and she gave me the following information.
She told me the people were greeted with posters saying “Thank you” hanging in the clubhouse and there were quite a few signs.
It was a lovely afternoon and was quite festive.

She went on to tell me that she thanked the many volunteers for their time and services, and mentioned the fact that Grand Horizons is what it is today because of the many hard working and dedicated volunteers in the community.
The menu included ham, baked beans, Cole slaw, potato salad, breads and many condiments and fixings. Beverage and dessert were also included. The dessert was ice cream and mini turnovers.
The luncheon started with Galen Parker saying grace before the meal.
After grace, the tables were called upon for their food.
Everybody left fully satisfied, as they were also able to go back for seconds, after everyone was served. If anyone left hungry, it was their own fault, as there was plenty to eat.
The hosts were Chuck and Shirley Carlson, Mim and Terry Gardner, and Ron and Joyce Bell.
Many pictures were taken, and our thanks go out to the ones who presented this luncheon. It was very nice, and I am sure that all who attended had a very good time.
From what was also mentioned, the crew is already starting next year’s event.
There were 65 people in attendance, and considering that many people already went back to their winter homes, it was a nice turnout.
