The Thanksgiving lunch for the Athens Senior Citizens was at noon on Wednesday, Nov. 13, at the Athens Wesleyan Church. They had 21 members present and five guests: Sue Vanderpool, Sandy Edsell, Dale Jarvis, and Duane and Inga Wells joined the group.
They recited the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag, and Ted Benjamin said grace before the group ate. The luncheon consisted of chicken gravy, mashed potatoes, rolls, green beans, sweet potato casseroles, pizza, pumpkin bread, cookies, and pecan pies.
Ted opened the meeting at 1:10 p.m. The only November birthday was Willie House (22), and there were no anniversaries. Drawing winners were Frank Malone, Bob Park, and Ellen Selle.
