Senior Circle

The Navarro Regional Hospital Senior Circle group traveled to Niagara Falls and Toronto in October. The group is pictured at the floral clock on the Niagara Parkway. The floral design is changed twice a year by the Niagara Parks horticulture staff. Sites that the group visited included: Loretta Lynn Ranch; Niagara Falls; Skylon Tower for a breathtaking view of the falls; Victoria Park; Niagara on the Lake; Castle Loma in Toronto; Chocolate Fix factory; Roxi glass factory; Ride on the “Maid of the Mist” right up to the falls; wine country; Clifton Hill; the Wellland Shipping Canal; Flagship Niagara in Erie, Pa.; and much more. Everyone had a very memorable trip but the group stated that they value the new friendships they made on the trip more than anything.

The Literary Club

The Literary Club will meet Nov. 19 at Kinsloe House. The meeting will be “What Went Wrong” by Bernard Lewis given by Nan McLain. Hostesses will be Geneva Davis and Gelene Simpson.

Woman’s Club House Association

Hostesses for the luncheon program at Kinsloe House on Nov. 18 will be members of the resolutions committee: chairman Bobbie Allen, Cecelia Alexander, Shirley Barnes, Carolyn French, Pat Howell, Corinne Lee, Jera O’Neal, Margie Talkington and Christine Williams. This committee is pleased and fortunate to have two talented musicians who will be performing. They are Margie Talkington at the piano and Cecelia Alexander at the electric organ. Alexander is immediate past president of Kinsloe House, and Talkington is a local music teacher. The two play together at the Kerens Methodist Church.

This promises to be a very entertaining program and one all music lovers will surely want to hear, so members are encouraged to make your reservations early by calling (903) 874-5791 by noon Nov. 16.

Members of the Kinsloe board of directors are reminded of the monthly meeting following the program at 1:30 p.m.

Both Shore and Bonner are experienced researchers who will provide helpful information, searching tips, and add a little humor with interesting epitaphs (short statements in memory of deceased usually put on tombstones). The program will include discussion of new Texas laws regarding cemeteries, cleaning tombstones and making “rubbings” of markers.

This will be the annual meeting for the genealogical society and there will be a brief business meeting for election of officers and tending to business matters.
