We extend our sympathy to Ronnie Hauf and family in the death of his wife, mother, and grandmother, Jan, at a Minot Nursing Home.

There was quite a large group attending the noon potluck and meeting at the Senior Citizens' Center last Friday. Reminder: The next Senior potluck and meeting will be held at 6 p.m., not at noon.

While eating peas at the potluck, one member requested honey for the peas and this explanation was given: "I eat my peas with honey. I've done this all my life. It makes my peas taste funny, but it keeps them on my knife!

On May 16, a Friday, Kyle will be at the Senior Center with his flowers and plants for anyone to purchase. He will be there from 3-7 only. Bars and coffee will be served. No bake sale this year and no pie!! The day is Older American Day.

Don't forget about getting ahold of Jessica Henne if you would like to have a garage sale during the City Wide Sales, August 1-3.

Quite a few wished Marian Schmidt a Happy Birthday last Saturday, at the Max Cafe.  We helped Florene Knudtson celebrate her birthday, a month late. Her husband had to be taken to the hospital on her birthday when the get-together was planned, so she couldn't be there.
