On Feb. 28, about 90 people had a great breakfast of pancakes, sausage and French toast to start the day. I wasn’t there, but I heard only good things about it. People were saying that the pancakes were fluffy and so tasty. I can just visualize them.
Later that night, our community center had a comedy night. Cheryl Leone was hosted it and she brought in two videos of a live performance with Jeff Dunham and his friends, in addition to some delicious popcorn. I never saw Jeff Dunham before, and my husband and I, plus the rest of the audience, were in for a treat. The show was so funny, and there were plenty of laughs circulating throughout the center. He did a fine job at ventriloquism and comedy. The weather kept many people away, but the ones who attended were glad they came.
On March 1, we had our second Volunteer Appreciation Day. It started last year, and they hope to have it annually.
As we entered the community center, we found a salad bowl with fresh crispy salad to put in the bowl. We then had either lasagna or spaghetti, whichever we wanted. Along with the main course, we had delicious garlic bread and meatballs.
Cheryl Leone and many helpers hosted this special day. The helpers consisted of Bill and Donna Quinn, Diane Keefe, Chuck Carlson, Carol Wilcox, Ken Leone, Clayton and Carol George, and quite a bit of additional help. They did a great job, and we thank them. Without the volunteers, our community would not be as wonderful as it is. There was a tremendous turnout of about 85 people who attended this function.
On March 3, there was a luncheon for the men where they went to Hooter’s. There was much conversation and all had a very good time. I don’t know what transpired there, but the guys came back in a very good mood.
On the same day, several women were at O’ Brien’s. The ride to Plant City, where the restaurant is located, was a lovely ride on a beautiful day. The menu was quite varied, and the food was delicious.
