The Patrick County Seniors Group meetings restarted with great success on July 13, with an attendance of around 70 people. The John D. Hooker building was decked out in red, white and blue, and the crowd started coming in early with an air of excitement. The Landmark Center staff set up and were ready to take blood pressure readings. Phillip Adams and his daughter were busy getting the sound system prepared.
Mrs. Judy Lacks, chairman of the planning committee for the seniors’ group and at present an employee of the Recreation Department, welcomed the group and introduced Mr. Travis Murphy, the recently hired director of the Patrick County Parks and Recreation Department. He provided some information about himself and the direction of the department and invited suggestions for activities they might provide for seniors.
A program of keyboard and vocals was provided by Adams and received with delight by the group. A blessing was provided by Junior Cassidy, and hot pizzas from Lil Caesars and a salad were served by the planning committee. Many delicious desserts were provided by attendees, and no one went away hungry.
The group will meet again on August 10 at 11 a.m. at the Hooker building. Entertainment will be provided by Ramona and Junior Cassidy, and attendees are asked to bring a covered dish for this meeting. Plans are being made for lunches to be provided for future meetings by Reynolds Homestead and the Landmark Center. Entertainers will include Johnny Joyce and friends and Jimmy Handy. There will be no meeting in September because of the Patrick County Agricultural Fair.
