The secretary’s and the treasurer’s report were read and accepted. Wanetta Townsend gave the card report. Marie Gillotti decorated the club. Good job Marie. We decided for our next meeting to have hot dogs. Every one is to bring salads, beans, desserts and anything that goes with hot dogs.

Sherman seniors gather
The Sherman Area Senior Citizens Club met on Wednesday for a delicious lunch at 11:30 a.m. at the Sherman gym.
Although our number has been reduced to only eight these midwinter months, it is amazing that the variety of food selections to choose from is always tempting and delicious.
Our next meeting will be on March 2, when we’ll expect a better turnout and better weather conditions. Spring is “just around the corner.” Do come! You have been missed.
We had two different speakers at this meeting. Our RSVP lady, Linda Bartlett, comes to us from Oakfield and had up-to-date things to discuss with us.
Clare Desrosiers talked about prescription drug diversion, which was very informative and thorough, using aids of typewritten sheets for us to take home and keep handy, to review and to remember. Thank you very much, ladies.
Present were Fred and Annie Atkinson, Bonita Staples, Linniea Perry, Esther Greenier, Eva Perry and the speakers mentioned above.
