I had as my goal for the day to go to Sam’s Club and purchased everything needed for the next two weeks of lunches at OTHG. I was quite surprised, therefore, to discover how little I was actually able to stock up on.

So we went to Walmart and, for the most part, completed our shopping.

I was surprised that at neither place was I able to purchase the restaurant size cans of fruit cocktail or mandarin oranges. Also, I really wanted some creamy cucumber salad dressing for the cucumber and tomatoe salad we will be serving. I guess I’ll make it myself.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

OTHG 08/11/2022
I have a doctor’s appointment and will be leaving right after lunch. Please help with food and dishes clean up and put away. Help is ALWAYS APPRECIATED
Parking. You may have noticed that parking is at a premium here. However, please do not park in the spots next to Parker’s Market. Also, in days gone by, there was a handicap spot next to the curb at the back door. The city removed it because it blocks the drive and makes it nearly impossible to pull out of the parking along the south. There is parking on the north, East, and south side of the building. It is okay to park on the grass to the west of the building both near the building and across the drive. Be aware that semis come in and out of that drive, so allow enough room for them to make the turn. 
Today is Hat Day. Bring your hats up here – with your head still in them. 
Remember, next week is Shirt Day on the eleventh.  
Speaking of shirts … those who ordered ¾ sleeve, we need to speak to you because the solid colored shirts are not available. 
On the 28th we will bring you to Bring a Friend. Yes we are trying to increase membership …  so the friend has to be a qualifying senior. But you and they Eat For Free. 
We have some new games that we hope to introduce soon …  either after the Thursday lunches or, perhaps on a separate day. Do we have any mahjong players? How about bunco players? 
This is something that shouldn’t need to be said … but … Folks remember BE KIND when playing games. They are only games, after all. 

Joke:. When you’re 20 and you drop something, you pick it up.
When you’re 50 and you drop something, you look around to see if there’s anything else to do while you’re down there. 
When you’re 80 and you drop something, you decide you don’t need it anymore.

The are enough biscuits to have …  one. After everyone had been served, the leftovers are fair game. 



Prayer:.

ANNOUNCEMENTS OTHG 08/04/2022

• As of August 2nd the Morning Coffee Club began. These will be every Tuesday starting at 8:30. Jannett, do you have anything to announce here? 

• For those days when it’s too hot to be outside, pick up DVDs at the library and stay inside where it is cool.

• Hat Day next week and Shirt Day on the eleventh. (Please wear a shirt on other days also 😁)  On the 28th Bring a Friend and you and they Eat For Free. Yes we are trying to increase membership …  so the friend has to be a qualifying senior. 

• Speaking of shirts … we need to get your orders in because we will place the order this week.

• When you visit our website, please leave a comment if it’s nothing more than, “Hey, GANG” or “Wha’s up?” 

• Merle, do you have an announcement about bingo? We have a new BINGO game.

• Joke:. A retired man now volunteers to entertain patients in assisted living homes and hospitals. He visited one hospital in Brooklyn and brought along his portable keyboard.
After telling jokes and singing songs at patients’ bedsides, he said farewell and, “I hope you get better.” One elderly gentleman replied, “I hope you get better, too.”

• Prayer:.  Be present at our table Lord. Be here and everywhere adored. These favors bless and grant that we may feast in fellowship with thee. Amen

Let’s eat. Any who need assistance go first.
Door prize went to Pat R.

August 2nd was the kick off of a Tuesdays morning coffee group. It is scheduled to start at eight thirty and last as long as people want to stay.

This, the first gathering, was attended by only two people and they are board members.

Perhaps we need to better define the purpose of the group to attract more people. And we will continue to advertise it through social media.

We are open to suggestions.

Thursday we will arrive early to cook the corn on the cob, Mac & cheese, mashed potatoes and gravy, and mix the coleslaw.

Come early and leave a hand, if you want.
