About being of service...

We've gotten about half-way through applying for membership in the Florence Elks Lodge, in an effort to find a service organization to become involved in.   They are principally a "diner's club" with exercise facilities, pool tables, bingo tournaments, etc.  They do place emphasis on disabled veterans, supporting Boy Scouts and handicapped children projects.  We've placed this on hold while we check out other options...too

We're also checking out involvement in the Florence Senior Citizen's organization.  Participating in their lunch gatherings maybe once a week, their short trips, and being of service in the new facility under construction may be a bit more to our liking.  There may be more opportunities to be of service with them than Elks... We have been invited to a meeting with their committee Monday, to see if we can find a "service" slot for ourselves.  (even if it's just washing dishes...and they don't assess annual dues...)

This, along with involvement in the Florence Ward, and our own travel plans will be enough, we think...

  1. Oh, I forgot you are coming down to Nevada and down to Myton to visit my parents correct?

  2. I'd give about anything to do just that. Unfortunately, my kids have absolutely no objective interest in me now... The next move is theirs, not mine.
    My very best wishes to you, Mikey. Keep me posted on your doinz? How about an e-mail?
