The Young at Heart met Jan. 8 at First Methodist Bostic Hall for celebration of Birthdays and Anniversaries. Anniversaries celebrated were Jamie and Terry Steadman and Sophie and Hyland Packard. Birthdays for the month were Waldean Shaw, Jamie Steadman, Terry Steadman, Carolyn Stothart and Hyland Packard.

The program was presented by Rev. Doug deGraffenried regarding ideas for new year: breathe deep, embrace night wisdom (ie dreams when god speaks), dance freely, release unnecessary stuff (ie junk drawers or rooms), and ask for the wisdom of our ancestors who are a great cloud of witnesses described in the Bible.

Decorations for theme “Let It Snow” were provided by the Dethloff Circle of Women. Young at Heart group meets on the first Wednesday of each month and is open to the public for $3 for lunch or just bring a covered dish to share.
