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.
Tuesday, April 27, we took our Young at Heart group on a Day Trip to visit the KitchenAid factory and outlet store in Greenville, Ohio. After the tour we had a very nice lunch at the Montage in Downtown Greenville, OH. Unfortunately, we could not take photos inside the factory because of intellectual properties concerns. I fully understand this requirement because of the many years I spent working in development and around the factories of NCR. However, I was able to take photos in the lobby area where they had a very nice display of the KitchenAid products made in this factory.
This display below is a mixer they made to provide to each Fire House that had a part in the 9/11 attack in memory of those who were impacted by this terrorist act.
I goofed and was too wrapped up in making my Apple Dumpling to get a photo of the process! However, everyone enjoyed the experience of making these at the outlet store. After lunch, we returned to eat the finished product with ice cream. I can’t vouch for every apple dumpling made that morning but mine was excellent!
The Montage provided an excellent lunch in a very unique setting. I would highly recommend this version of a family run sandwich, soup and salad place. Their cookies were good, too; but I took mine home for later, rather than spoil my appetite for the apple dumpling to follow.
Today, April 13, 2010, we had an awesome group of high school students from the Dayton Christian High School present a great Jazz Band concert! Thank you students and Dr. Brian Stiffler for this entertainment. You are all a testimony to the fine job DCS is doing in our community.
