We’ve been anxious for this day to arrive because we haven’t had the group together since December. It was awesome to see so many of our friends again! Welcome Back! We missed you.
We had a great kickoff luncheon program; starting with our Prelude Program of Piano and Violin music, followed with an awesome program by our old favorite soloist, Dave Harney. Then, finishing with some delicious food. Several people asked for the dessert recipe, so I will put that in our next newsletter.
We had some good prelude music to start us off as everyone assembled in the auditorium enjoying a time of fellowship with old friends, prior to the meeting. Today, we had a trio of good music performers: Fred Scheffler, Nathan Brandt and Caitlin Erlandson with her mom, Julie, at the piano. You can listen to their program, HERE!
Following this prelude, I opened our program with our normal jokes, acknowledgements of birthdays, anniversaries, and newcomers, and introductions to day trips and our fall trip. This fall we’re going to Canada and the Niagara Falls.
The for our REAL program we brought up Dave Harney. Dave sang a great selection of songs from his newest CD! Of course, he also shared stories and jokes. His programs are always entertaining as well as inspirational. You can hear the entire music program, HERE. I will also provide a couple of video clips, below.
Following the program Lisa and her staff served a meal of pulled pork (roasted on the premises) with baked beans and mac-n-cheese. This was followed with a delicious Banana Split Pie. I will be sure to include the recipe for that in our April Newsletter.
Next month we’ll enjoy Dayton Christian Schools, “Resounding Joy”!
