Koffee News Thursday, December 23, 2021
We were treated to some Christmas Carols led by Michael Jorgensen and the Village Choir. The crowd sang along. Nice start to the day.
Michael Jorgensen was the MC
There were 190 in attendance
New Residents, Kim Burch: Kim introduced 1 new couple from Michigan.
Visitors: Barb Swearingen introduced her family that are visiting them this week. The Snodgrass’s also had some family here visiting for the week.
Serendipity today Barb Norsen for Shari Haines
Our donuts were FREE today, thanks to Jinks Rogers, Carolyn Butler and Michael Jorgensen. Carolyn and Michael have birthdays today and Jink’s birthday is on Christmas Day. And when someone buys the donuts the Social Club furnishes the coffee and tea.
Last Thursday, this clubhouse was a buzz with activity. The room swelled to over 200 people who were hear to listen to the Spectrum information. In addition we had the Social Club and the Boat Club selling membership tickes. Tickets were also sold for Christmas luncheon, Quilt Club Tea in January, 50/50 tickets and Dance tickets for January.
Last Friday, the Garden Club had Chicken wraps and egg wraps. They had a great turnout.
It saddens me to report the death of Shirley Mirriman. They used to reside here but then moved to the Villages to be near family. It is reported that Shirley fell and went to the hospital and some time later passed away. Please keep Shirley’s family and friends in your prayers. There was no reports of anyone else needing our prayers. Let’s please stay well.

My thought for the week: My idea of Christmas, whether old fashioned or modern is very simple, loving others. Come to think of it, why do we have to wait for Christmas to do that?
