Seniors You Are Invited to Join Strong Friends!

STRONG FRIENDS meet M-W-F from 9 to 10 a.m. We follow a program devised by Tuft's University We exercise at the church and you are welcome to join us any time. 

I lead the class as a volunteer and there is no fee for doing the exercises that have kept us more flexible, stronger and less likely to fall.  Curious if this would work for you or with questions, call 541-770-3711–Teddie Hight.

REMEMBER WHAT FUN PROGRESSIVE DINNERS ARE?

Well, mark your calendars, a progressive picnic is scheduled for Saturday, June 13th. The event kicks off around 3:30 p.m. at Phebe McManama's for appetizers, with three other stops scheduled. The church van will be available for transportation. More information will be announced later!

 The chard that over wintered has been producing well, but it is starting to bolt.  I have taken out a few plants and am replacing them with new starts.  Get fresh chard while it is still going before it bolts or wait for the new.
 
The snap peas in the front bed show an amazing difference between the ones I started in a cold frame and transplanted compared to the ones I direct planted shortly afterwards.  They are starting to bloom!  I have decided to try beans the same way.
 
One more bed finished and one to go!  Gardeners are planting now and we have two new youngsters excited about gardening with their parents.
 
I was doing some work at the compost bin and saw where corn that was left on stalks after last year had fallen on the ground and are now sprouting, so I planted our first block of corn.
 
Potatoes survived the last mild frost and are doing well.  Three weeks before our average last frost date.
 
Hope you are having fun too!

We would like to thank Darren Davidson for organizing the Camp Auction for the last few years. This will be his last year in this capacity. Please prayerfully consider if this is something you would like to do in the future. Darren would love to mentor someone this year who would like to take on this task. Are you someone who would like to volunteer some hours for a couple of months each spring to help see kids go to camp, a mission trip or yearly meeting? Please contact Darren.

There will be an Activities Committee Meeting on Sunday, April 26^th in the fireside room following the Sunday School hour.
