ARE YOU LIT? – Your house number sign is lit 24/7. Eventually it will go

out, but it’s an easy fix for anyone. Yes, anyone. Two small 5 watt 12 volt

lamps provide the light for the panel. The lamps pull straight out and push

straight in. When one burns out, the light goes off. Lamps are available

locally, but they’re five bucks each and only rated for 3000 hours. That

sounds like a long time, but actually it’s only four months. If you’re an

Amazon Prime customer, you can get ten lamps (item: 5 watt T3 ¼ quarter

base clear xenon 20,000 hours) for ten bucks. Split an order with a neigh-

bor, and you’ll both be set. Installation – Using only fingers (NOT pliers

or tools), pull out one lamp. If the filament is intact, reinstall it. If not, throw it away and install a new lamp. Do

the same for lamp number two. If it’s too difficult to see the filament, throw both old lamps away and install two

new lamps. The light should come back on when you install lamp number two and you’re finished! ARC meet-

ings for May will be on the 12th and 26th.

Community Happenings

Carolyn Stryker,

walking stick winner

The latest trip to the Okefenokee Swamp was a great success. Led by our fearless leader John Eadie, many of us saw and learned about

parts of Mother Nature about which we were clueless. All the wonderful Okefenokee Swamp Refuge employees and volunteers kept

us interested and entertained for the entire trip. John even arranged for a special guest "Okefenokee Joe.” Joe told us stories, sang

"swamp" songs, and gave a snake presentation. He was entertaining. The best part wasJohn's personal insights and experience with

the area. The personal memories he shared with us about his boyhood living in the Okefenokee Swamp made this trip unforgettable.

Everyone there, I am confident, had a wonderful time. Lots of interesting sights, plenty of laughs, and way too much food. John says

this will be his last guided tour to the swamp, so all we can say is we were lucky and ......... THANK YOU, JOHN!

Collection Window Thank you, Rose Combs, for sharing your display of ducks in the collec-tion window for the

month of April.

During the month of May, the Window will have Steve Guss’s collection of Vase-line glass.

Vaseline glass is beautiful yellow-green glass containing a low dose of radium which fluoresces under a black light.

Be sure to stop by and view the display. It changes monthly.

Do you have a collection you want to share? Contact Becky White or Bonnie Gregor.

Movie Club—will meet on Monday, April 25th at 7:00pm to discuss “My Big Fat Greek Wed-

ding 2.” All are welcome.
