Coaticook Area Senior Citizen’s Club

Our Christmas dinner and meeting was held on December 18 at the Elie Carrier Center. Before the meal, a thank you gift was given by our president, Penny Fowler, to Micheline Michaud and her staff along with good wishes for the season. Micheline thanked us for always being present with them at the Elie Carrier Center and also offered wishes for a good Christmas season and the rest of the year.

Penny also thanked all the members who brought items for the food basket and clothing for the homeless. Ruth Charleau said the prayer before the meal.

Members with birthdays this month were Ruth Charleau and Richard Fowler. The participation prizes were won by Ruth Charleau and Paula Lefebvre. We also had to guess how many candy canes were in the jar and the winners were Karen Yeates, Brian Larue and Marry Cutler.

This year again, we had a gift exchange between members. We used the ‘one table at a time’ method for members to go and pick a gift. It went very well.

Door prizes were won by Patricia Bryant, Ellie Bailey, Penny Fowler, Marry Cutler, Arnold Mackeage, Kathy Cloutier and Brian Larue.

Thank you Patricia Bryant for providing the music background this year. A few people participated in a sing along.

Our next meeting will be January 15, 2019 at 11:30 a.m. The main meal will be meatballs. It is membership renewal time and it remains $6.00. As usual, someone will be phoning you.

Penny Fowler, President Suzanne Martin, Secretary.
