Merry Makers enjoy treats at meeting, members learn zone rallies are ending

By Bonnie Whitehead

CLIFFORD - Past president Mary Mighton welcomed 12 members and two guests to the Merry Makers seniors meeting on May 2 at Jamesway Manor in Clifford.

The group learned that due to a dwindling number of seniors' clubs and low participation, the United Seniors of Ontario zone rallies will no longer be held.

Money paid into the zone rally fund was reimbursed to the Merry Makers.

Happy Birthday was sung to Joy Burnett.

Marion Wylie read humourous tales from The Voice.

Marion Agla and Joy Burnett welcomed Diane Pfeffer and Joanne Hetsler to the meeting. They set up an array of dips and sauces from Epicure and invited those gathered to join.

Everyone received a new spring and summer catalogue to take home and review.

The ladies finished  the day visiting and enjoying servings of chocolate cherry cake, ice cream cake, tea and coffee.

Meetings are held on the first Thursday of the month at Jamesway Manor. All seniors are welcome to join the club.
