FFA members party with seniors

16 years ago

Valentine’s celebration
    The Easton Happy Days Senior Citizens’ Club held a fun day to celebrate Valentine’s Day, on the first meeting of the month of February. They invited the Easton Future Farmers of America to join them for lunch and dancing afterward.

    Fifteen FFA members attended along with their advisor, Kevin Marquis, the music teacher, Mrs. Kinsey, and the phys ed teacher, Mr. Graves. Marquis brought baked potatoes, sour cream, punch and homemade chili which he made himself. Club members brought a potluck assortment with cupcakes and a Valentine’s cake. What a feed!  
    After lunch, Club member Lindy Fowler got the group together to enjoy some of the older dances done by Club members some years ago, such as the Bunny Hop, the Put Your Right Foot In and the Chicken Dance, while the young people made up some dances of their own. Three of the Club members, Lindy, Ezalee Smith and Rena Richardson, danced along with them while the rest, Joanne Johnson, Marie Hewitt, Glenice Craig, Rowena Thomas and Eldora Carter, sat on the sidelines enjoying the show. Needless to say, a good time was had by all.  
    This has been done for the past few years and everyone is looking forward to next year’s Valentine dance. There was not an official meeting this day but on the next meeting on Feb. 26, there will be a  guest speaker.

    On Saturday, March 7, at 7 p.m. (8 p.m. Atlantic), the Francis Malcolm Planetarium proudly presents “The Universe of Dr. Einstein” in honor of the 130th birthday of, arguably, the greatest scientist who ever lived. Yet in spite of his great popularity and legendary halo of white hair, most know relatively little about both Einstein and his times. Come explore the wonder and science of special and general relativity as well as better understand the global forces and circumstances molding the life of this unusually gifted and talented Jewish personality.
