October 31, 2013

Lorna Sambor recently returned from a 3 week visit in Minneapolis. She spent time visiting with her grandson Mark, his fiancée Julie, and her daughter Connie. She had many wonderful adventures while there. Mark and Julie took her on a steamboat ride on Lake Minnetonka, she and Mark spent a day making veranaki, and she was able to be at Mark's to celebrate his birthday. She attended The Hoppers and Guy Penrod gospel concerts, and attended the Understanding the Time Prophecy conference. While at the conference she was surprised to run into some Max folks, Sherry and Gary Ritchie. Of course the trip included visits to some thrift stores and lunches with Minneapolis friends. Connie brought Lorna and her traveling companion, Peko, (her bird) home again. They both enjoyed the trip very much. Welcome home, Lorna!

Phone them at 679-2623 to set up a time to meet them at the Senior Citizen's Center for this. This service is free.

The school concert was very memorable, with the 6th grade band playing, mixed chorus, and concert band playing.  Colleen Zabka, music teacher for many years at the Max School, had the band play an emotional song, America on Parade, made up of different patriotic songs and had the veterans in the crowd stand! There were many!

The Senior Citizens potluck and meeting at noon on October 25th was very well attended with over a dozen there. The next meeting is November 22nd at noon, with the McLean County Extension Agent having a program.
