Electrical Specialist Still Needed

Where are all our retired electrical engineers?? Our boxed public address system is not functioning and we need someone to examine it and see if it can be repaired. It hums when it shouldn’t. If you think you can help, please contact Marlene Hruby.

Sunshine…Irene Elardo

We are so sad to report the death on April 4 of Sandy Clark, our former treasurer and friend. Two weeks after moving into her new home in Arizona, she went to the doctor with pain in her side and was diagnosed with inoperable pancreatic, liver and lung cancer. She endured chemotherapy and then went into hospice care. Our prayers go to her friends and family. Get Well cards were sent to Dottie Temby, Lorraine Biagini, George Depold, Bette Maniglia, and Paddy Wray. A sympathy card was sent to Pam Spahr on the death of her husband. If you have extra get well, sympathy, or thinking of you cards, please consider donating them for my use. Thanks.

Points to Ponder

It’s not that we have more patience as we grow older, it’s just that we’re too tired to care about all the pointless drama.

Kids today don’t know how easy they have it. When I was young I had to walk nine feet through shag carpet to change the TV channel.
