prime timers’ game night
by mike houston

Remember when:

v  You had only one rotary dial phone, and the whole family shared it?

v  The service station attendant used to wipe your car’s windshield and check the air pressure in the tires?

v  You utilized the old wooden rocking chair while sitting on the front porch, possibly reading comic books?

v  First class mail cost $.03, and a postcard was mailed for $.02?

v  How ‘bout hand cranking the old ice cream freezer while listening to the radio?

If you have some of those memories, you probably know how to play dominoes, score a game of 42, maybe even bid “no trump” in a game of Bridge.  You might also recall that families and friends got together in those early post-war days to just do those simple things, along with sharing some down home cooking.  Indeed this was a simpler life – before television, computers, and the cell phone.  An occasional movie might be on the entertainment list, but you did not have to worry about various censorship ratings.

If you are reminiscing, or perhaps even cracking a covert smile, why not come out to Game Night, hosted by the Prime Timers, and participate in some fine Christian fellowship?  Prime Timers’ Game Night started about eight years ago, and the fun has never stopped!

New friendships are made, and old ones are rekindled, the hospitality is better than average, and laughter is sure to abound!  Although comprised mostly of retirees, adults of all ages have joined us throughout the years for an evening of fun.  Game Night happens every month on the third Thursday at 7:00PM in Room 100 of the Family Center.  You are promised some great home cooking from recipes and cooks known throughout the fellowship.  The next Game Night is coming up on November 19, so make plans to join us!  For more information, contact Mike Houston.
