Oakfield Senior Citizens
By Charlotte Marley
Twenty-one members of the Oakfield Senior Citizens met at the Oakfield Community Center for their Feb. 18 meeting. Each table had red roses for centerpieces and a red heart candy was at each place setting.
After the delicious potluck luncheon Bob Locke opened the business meeting with the Lord’s Prayer and Flag Salute. Two new members joined the group.
Reports were read and accepted. After the meeting Auctioneer Jeanne Clements conducted our “Trash and Treasure” auction with Don Marley assisting.
Everyone had a good time and many went home with lots of “goodies”. We were able to raise money for our summer bus trip, now all we have to do is decide where to go.
The next meeting on March 4 will be held at Smoki-Haulers Snowmobile Club in Oakfield.
The Oakfield Town Manager Dale Morris will be guest speaker. He will bring everyone up to date about the First Wind project in Oakfield.
Attending were: Velma Cale, Merle and Evelyn Burpee, Jackie Kennedy, Pete Peters, Alma Clark, Jeanne Clements, Tessie Barrett, Geneva Bell, Linda Slauenwhite, Don and Charlotte Marley, Nacie Fowler, Wannetta Townsend, Bob and Delores Locke, Marie Gillotti, Ursula Levesque, Arlene Friel and Mildred Gagnon.
