Young@Heart Day Trip to Scioto Hills

This week, October 12, 2017, we drove over to Scioto Hills for their Senior Saints program. This was unfortunately also billed as a Fall Color tour, but mostly is was gray and rainy. We are still on the leading edge of the Fall Color season but, you will see in the photo, there was some color by the pond, if you ventured outside the dining hall, to see it!

We had a good number of people with 39 of us going. We even added a second bus. Actually, our group represented about a third of those in attendance.

Scioto Hills Church Camp always does a nice job for us by providing a nice meal and good musical entertainment.

Interestingly, our meal was Pulled Pork Sandwiches, Cole Slaw, Chips and a Pumpkin Cake for dessert with coffee. This pretty was similar to our most recent YAH Luncheon on Tuesday. They should have asked us first!  LOL

After lunch Scott Bruns gave us a presentation about the camp and future plans and needs. We really need for them to purchase the additional land that will provide better travel access! We were also able to wander a bit and I took a few photos. Later editing brought out the hiding color!

Our program this time was Glory Way Quartet. They are an outstanding Gospel Quartet. One of their singers, the deep base, is from Dayton, another from Mansfield, Nashville and West Virginia. We’ve heard most of this group before but the gentleman from West Virginia is new.

I'm including a selection of videos that I took of them performing. I think you will agree, they are GOOD! (I mean the music, not my videos)

It’s a Great Morning 

Turn Your Back 

Chain Breaker 

Walk with Me 

Following the program, Scott Bruns opened the Camp Store where we could shop for Christmas! The quartet also sold their CDs and other items.

Our next Day Trip will be to La Comedia for their Christmas Program. “Timeless Memories of Christmas”. We have a limited number of seats reserved so be sure to reserve your seats, with payment, early! That program will be on November 30th, leaving church at 10:15am.

October 10, Luncheon Program - John Louis: on the Edge of Illusions

Our prelude music today was from an album by the King’s Brass and Organ. I reminded the group that one of the former King’s Brass Trumpeters was the grandson of our first Young@Heart leader, Pastor Jim Neely, Daniel Lewis. I don’t know if he played on this album.

Today, we used another first for the group. One of our people suggested that we use John Louis (no relation to Daniel Lewis). So, I used this as a commercial for our next leader, Greg Poe. He would like to use a sampling of members to form an Advisory Board to provide advice for programs and trips. If you are interested, let Lisa Poe, Greg Poe or me (Roger Jensen) know. We need to get this started, soon.

John Louis bills himself as John Louis: on the Edge of Illusions. And that is truly what he does. No magic, just slight of hand and illusions.

John did some fun things such as turn colorful bits of cloth into a beautiful Rainbow Umbrella.

Also, the favorite old rope pieces tricks.

He even made a Rabbit appear and brought doves from a fiery pan! I’ve never seen that one before. I assume you would have a Squab Meal, if it didn't work!

He had Carmela Fiorito come up to help with one trick using colorful balls and he made a handful of lively balls appear in her hands. Later, she asked me “How did he do that?” I’m not telling.

Here is a short video of this portion of the program.

Then, "to end it all", but I fooled everyone, I’m still here. He stuck a sword through my throat!!! Ouch. I can still talk about it and my head didn’t fall off. But, I am holding it on.  :-)

 Next month, I will still be your leader, but you will get a closer look at the next Young@Heart Leader, Greg Poe. He will present a Thanksgiving Program. We will also hear from our outstanding Ladies Trio. And Lisa will be cooking a special Thanksgiving meal. Be sure to join us on November 14 for a wonderful Thanksgiving Luncheon!
