   'MEALS TO GROW"....OUR PROGRAM FOR THURSDAY, MARCH 3RD'
Marcie Burleson will be bringing the program this coming Thursday, entitled "Meals to Grow". She will be bringing extra people with her.
"Twelve million children in America don't get enough food to live active, healthy lives. These children are in our classrooms and on our playgrounds. Children should never go hungry. Yet many children who depend on school provided meals have little or no access to numerous food on the weekends. A child is unequipped to learn when they are hungry.
Simply Meals to Grow volunteers assemble bags of food. the schools identify children who are considered at high risk of hunger, Hopefully, with this program, these children can return to school on Monday ready to learn. There will be a written explanation for everyone at our program on Thursday.

OH THOSE BEAUTIFUL GOLDEN YEARS!
"Leaving the store, I couldn't find my keys. They weren't in my pockets. Suddenly I realized I must have left them in the car. Frantically, I headed for the parking lot. My husband has scolded me many times for leaving my keys in the car's ignition. He's afraid that the car could be stolen. As I looked around the parking lot, I realized he was right. The parking lot was empty. I immediately called the police. I gave them my location, confessed that I had left my keys in the car, and that it had been stolen.
Then I made the most difficult call of all to my husband. "I left my keys in the car and it's been stolen."
There was a moment of silence. I thought the call had been disconnected, but then I heard his voice. "Are you kidding me?" he barked, "I dropped you off!" Now it was my turn to be silent. Embarrassed, I said, "Well, come and get me." He retorted, "I will, just as soon as I convince this cop that I didn't steal your darn car.!" Welcome to the golden years.......
