In addition to all the activities that still go on at Grand Horizons like dominoes, shuffleboard and others, they also have get-togethers such as a potluck for special occasions like Memorial Day. On this particular day, they did join together as a group to recognize this day.
I spoke to Sandy and Al Lindke and they said this memorable day was celebrated with a potluck at the community center. The hosts were Albert and Sandy Lindke, and the grill masters were Jim and Judy Fischer assisted by Ken and Barb Holzapfel. There were 96 residents and guests who attended and honored this day.

The evening started with the Pledge of Allegiance to honor our current, former and deceased military members. There was a P.O.W. table set on the stage to recognize and honor our prisoners of war.
Sandy said the blessing, thanked everyone for attending, and also thanked the decorating committee and especially the many helpers.
She continued with the fact that Adrianne Ayres took photos, and she ended with the fact that all had a very enjoyable evening.
I have since talked to others and they mentioned that each person brought along a dish to serve several people. Since the meats were contributed by the social club, mainly side dishes were brought in. From what was told to me, there was plenty of food to be enjoyed and several salads such as coleslaw, potato salad, macaroni dishes and several Jello dishes, in addition to tossed salads. There also were many desserts.
Sandy said it was a very good turnout, considering the number of residents who are away at their summer homes in another state.
