April showers bring May flowers! My tea rose bush got so heavy with blooms that it fell over! I guess it didn’t help that I hadn’t pruned it back and it was over 6 feet tall. Lessons learned. Ok, before I get into this month’s news, I have a correction from last month. It seems it was being interpreted by some that the Friends was footing the bill for the new carpeting and hopefully new kitchen flooring for the Senior Center. Not so. This is strictly a city-paid project and i

Hello everyone! I don’t know about you but man, have I been enjoying seeing everything bursting out with leaves and flowers all over town! It gives me hope that with everything going on in our world right now, nature has a way of lifting our spirits with blooms and blossoms! Bring it on mother nature! We have lots of irons in the fire these days! The senior center will close down in May for almost a week while new carpeting gets installed. We are also hoping for some new floo

Hello everyone! Spring is almost here! Daylight Savings time begins this Sunday and our days will be longer, hopefully sunnier with only a bit of rain only between 2 and 4 am. I can dream right? We have a lot to look forward to this year so let’s get right to it! First, we have implemented our FMSC Patron Program. If you haven’t heard of this yet, let me explain. Your board has not been able to come up with and stick to an annual budget for several years and for several reaso

Hello everyone and welcome to a brand new month! Where January went is beyond me. Our first two food events of the year were mostly successful with the white chicken chili and beef stroganoff seemingly big hits and thanks for all the wonderful compliments we received!

Some of you may know that the Board is considering initiating an FMSC Pa

Happy New Year everyone! My goodness…the first quarter of a century of the new millennium has already gone by and seemingly in a blink of an eye! Time marches on and in double-time I think! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season with family and friends and are looking forward to happiness and good health in the months to come. Looking back on this last year, I don’t think there are many who didn’t experience the loss of someone dear to them or didn’t experience the ch

Hello everyone! Well, as we are winding down 2025, I hope all of you are looking forward to a fresh start for 2026. Sometimes it’s good to reflect on where we are in our lives and adjust what might need a bit of tweaking. There is always room for growth and change might be difficult but certainly not impossible. We are never too old to improve ourselves. As a recap of the year, the Friends put on 30 food events this year. I would rate most of them as a success and we couldn’t

Hello everyone and Happy Fall! Here we are getting close to wrapping up another year and my hope for each and everyone of you is that we continue to look forward to better times. My advice is not to dwell on things that have passed but to continue to look to the future. Learn from our missteps, keep learning new things and strive to make your little corner of the world a better place for all that dwell in that space. We are looking forward to our annual Thanksgiving Day Lunch
