The folks there did a great job put- ting it together. From 9 to 11 a.m. the room was packed and sales were good. I'm pretty sure they are planning on doing the same thing next March, so you might want to mark your calendar. An- other great little Surprise was that they made the venders a lunch of a yum- my soup and sandwich. As the crowd traffic slowed, t sat back in one of the theater chairs and looked up on the wall. The steering wheel from one of the ferries is hanging up there. I have to ad- mit that I have a terrible memory and I know that the wheel was presented to the club a couple of years ago. A gentle- man contacted me about the wheel and said that it was in some of his father's stuff and he remembered childhood stories about his father working on the ferry. I think that a plaque with the information needs to be put up on the wall with the wheel, but I can't remember the gentleman's name or the complete story and for that I apologize. So, if by chance, someone with that information could get a hold of me again, I will get that corrected. Senior lunch this next week will be putting out another great lunch. Their April lunch will include mac- aroni and cheese with ham, green beans, pickles and dump cake. Now, dump cake sounds a little strange, but I can tell you that one of our daughters comes out to the island and almost always makes a dump cake for our family dinners. They are wonderful. So, make sure you show up a little before noon on Wednesday, April 6. Just a quick mention of the chili cook-off at the April 8 meeting of the Community Club. The doors will open around 6 p.m. and the potluck starts at 6:30 p.m. Now, for a couple more inspira- tional notes, Bridge church is hap- py to announce that Dr. Rich Rob- inson of "Jews for Jesus will again be speaking at Bridge Com- Thursday, C.AJJ. GHLAN munity Church at 10:30 a.m. on Sunday, April 3, the regular Sun- day morning service time. All are welcome. Jews for Jesus is a na- tional and international organiza- tion, which uses creative methods and contemporary issues to pres- ent the message that Jesus is the Messiah to Jewish people around the world. This Sunday's topic will be "The Gospel in the Feasts of Israel~. When he came to speak two years ago, the Bridge Church was still meeting in the Com- munity Hall. There was a large and enthu- siastic group to hear him. His presentation was "Christ in the Pass- over." Bridge Church is now in their our own fa- cility, located at 500 North Island Drive, which is a half-mile north of the bridge. There is ample parking and a handicap entrance available at rear of building. For additional information call Bernie or Jan at 432-9539. As most of you know Judy is very active with Turning Pointe and she shares many interests with other women's groups. We have an organization here is Shel- ton named Hypatia. They actively promote women's well being. EI- speth Pope is one of the founding members and has been a friend of ours for years. Elspeth will tell you that Hypatia-in-the-Woods is a re- treat center for women in the arts, academia and business. They are hosting a benefit performance by noted writer, speaker, perform- er, Mary Lou Sanelli at 2 p.m. on April 17, Sunday afternoon, at GDP Studio Taylor Town, behind/beside Texaco station. This event titled "Mothers and Daughters: Breathe In, Breathe Out," is a presentation about mothers and daughters, the life cycle, the mother/daughter evo- lutionary process that lasts your lifetime. What a great way to cel- ebrate parenting and being parent- ed. Tickets are only a $25 donation per individual or $40 per couple.
