Single Senior Women’s Valentine Brunch

It was “SHOW AND TELL” time for forty women who gathered to celebrate Valentine’s Day on February 12 (our fourth annual brunch). Fifteen of the women brought samples of their hobbies (past and present). The articles were on display for all to see. After eating a wonderful brunch of egg quiche, fruit, and scones, they then heard Evelyn Perrin and Nayda Bodholdt play two lovely songs. Mary Lewis told us about the beginning of this special day and a history of valentines. It was then time for the “TELL” part of the program. The fifteen participants told us about their work of art including the history behind each piece and the history behind their talents. It was concluded that we have some very talented women in our midst. The women were sent home with a small bouquet of carnations and candy. The women of our Junior/Senior Ministry hosted the event.

SURPRISE SAFARI

Eastmont’s Seniors’ first Surprise Safari of 2009 saw 45 who enjoyed a tour of the Bend Police Department’s facilities at the south end of Pilot Butte. They were able to view the training facility which also doubles as a briefing room as each shift goes on duty. Also examined were several of the fleet of squad cars and motorcycles in service, the holding rooms for those arrested and waiting interrogation or transport to the Bend jail which is in north Bend and operated by the Sheriff’s Office. A major part of the facility is involved in recording information and storing it for future reference. After the tour, the group journeyed to Izzy’s Restaurant next to Sears for lunch where the management had made their private room available for Eastmont’s use. Many expressed their appreciation for the outing.
