YAH Purpose

The Young at Heart Ministry is for Senior Adults (those past retirement age) in the Dayton, Ohio area. We provide times of fellowship and entertainment during our monthly Luncheons. We also provide the opportunity to see interesting places and things around the area during our monthly Day Trips. Once a year (sometimes more frequently) we offer a longer trip to see areas far from Dayton. All of our programs are designed to be honoring to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

American Sign Museum - March 23, 2010

In March, we toured something very different. Maybe many people didn’t even realize there is such a thing as an American Sign Museum. Well there is and it is in Cincinnati. So, we took a good group of our YAH group down for a visit. The current home of the American Sign Museum is small and a new one is in development in the Fort Washington area of Cincinnati. However, it was fun to tour the museum and see the many different signs. Most of the signs were lighted signs but they also had others including many from Las Vegas shows. We did a scavenger hunt to find certain signs and features. For example, we had to find the sign with a bullet hole in it. Actually, I found two but they had one specific one they wanted. The prize for the winning team was a nice coffee table book for each team member.

These are examples of the lighted signs. But I think Sharon was trying to push start this little car.

They even had old neon signs where you could change the letters and numbers much like you do with the small plastic letter mobile store front signs today.

I had fun making this one! How did I do?

They even had something that looked like a Sputnik satellite!

After visiting the museum, we enjoyed a nice meal at the Parkside Café.
