Kathy’s Connection ~

April 2017 Newsle�er

I am ready to celebrate SPRING. If you were a snowbird this year, please stop by when you get a chance

and tell us about your experiences to wherever you went to.

I did some research about the month of April. I have just a few funny and wacky things to share with

you, for instance, we all know April 1

st

is April Fool’s Day; but did you know that the 7

th

is National Beer Day.

The 15

th

is National Appreciation Husband Day, and that the 30

th

is National Hairdresser Day those are just a

few, there is too many to mention all of them.

I want to give a big shout out to the Income Tax Preparers for this year. Each and every one of you are a

blessing to everyone that you helped. Your dedication, sincerity, patience and kindness did NOT go unnoticed.

Thank you for the long hours you put in and to your families for the late dinners on Wednesday evenings.

I have a few items I want to mention: We are going to post a volunteer sign – up sheet in the office with

the hopes that we can get some helping hands to do some Spring Clean-Up Chores. One of those chores is to

spruce up the outside area. If you are interested in helping and you have handy; a rake, work gloves, a wheel

barrel, a hoe, and whatever else you think could be used to make the outside inviting. We will also need help in

the kitchen. The oven needs to be cleaned and the top of the stove. I would like the cupboards to be wiped down

and the sinks scrubbed. Please consider spending some time helping us make the center sparkle inside and out.

DID YOU KNOW:

If you went to Davison Schools at some point in your life, you have a wonderful opportunity to meet

with the Davison Alumni group on Tuesday’s at 9:00 a.m. right here at the center in room 7. It is a wonderful

way to reconnect with others who attended Davison and reminisce and share stories and memories. Several

times during the year Mr. Eric Lieske, Superintendent of Davison School District will drop in to say hello to the

group.

This month I would like to thank Pro-Hearing Center, Inc. for all they do for us. They provide a free

service on the second Monday of the month. They clean your hearing aids and put in new batteries. Lorraine

Provost has retired from the company, but the new owners are willing to still provide us with the excellent care

that is appreciated very much.

To anyone wondering why our Flag is no longer flying, it is because we need to replace the rope and

purchase the flag. Then we need coordinate with the Davison-Richfield Fire Dept. to put it up for us when their

ladder truck is out doing non-emergency runs. Please be

patient with us.

On Friday, April 14

th

the center will be closed in

observance of Good Friday.

Thank you for your continued support,

Kathy
