The monthly Young at Heart luncheon for seniors was held on Sept. 4 at the First United Methodist Church.

Jeremy McCormic and Felicia Gates, Interpretive Rangers from the Fort St. Jean Baptiste State Historic Site, spoke to the group about 18th Century colonial life in Natchitoches. David Clark exhibited some of his wildlife photography for all to enjoy.

September birthdays were celebrated by Judy Polk, Betty Whitehead, Harvey Polk, Carla Bond, and Paul Baird.

Harvey Polk served as Master of Ceremonies, and the church’s Faith Circle provided table decorations with a Parish Fair theme. Rev. Linda Clark offered a prayer before the meal.

Young at Heart meets the first Wednesday of each month at 11 AM in Bostick Hall at the church (enter through doors under the bell tower). The meeting is non-denominational, and all seniors are welcome to come and enjoy good food, fellowship, and entertainment. Those attending are asked to pay a $5 fee or to bring a covered dish to share. The next meeting is scheduled for October 2.
