Senior focus

Fair booth combined effort

“RSVP Reflections,” submitted by Harlene Swanson, RSVP Director. Drop in at the RSVP-Senior Center booth at the Putnam County Fair. Something special is planned every evening, and giveaways are available to all visitors. Watch Eileen Burkett demonstrate weaving 6:30-8 p.m. Monday. Eileen, with her husband Richard, operates Wild Rose Pottery Shop west of Bainbridge and has exhibited her weavings in many art shows.

The Kitchen Band will entertain fair-goers on Friday evening at 6:30. Listen to the great old songs that are played in the spirited, unique style of this senior citizens’ band. *** SETTING UP THE RSVP-Senior Center fair booth is a tremendous job. Special thanks go to Elmer Abbott and Sharon Hammond who spent several hours designing the booth, making a pamphlet rack and putting everything together. **♦ RSVP has many couples who are active in the organization, and the Ned Burkhardts are one such couple. Ned is a volunteer even though he holds down a full-time job and could be counted on to help on weekends, evenings or holidays. Recently he taxied volunteers back and forth between their homes and Robe-Ann Park on the Fourth of July. Thelma IS RSVP, having been with the organization since its beginning and serving as secretary, bookkeeper, director and assistant director. Our thoughts and prayers go with the Burkhardts while Ned is hospitalized and recovering from a stroke. They have many friends at RSVP who are concerned about them and wish them well. *** DEPARTURES ARE ALWAYS sad, and the staff will miss Anna Applegate, the recep-tionist-secretary. Anna has been a part-time worker here and moves into a full-time job at the Red Cross office. Fortunately, the office is just across the street from the Senior Center. *** The Tot’s Time Center has been operating its free babysitting service for almost six months and is a blessing for mothers who cannot afford or do not have access to babysitters. They need more volunteers and are open every Wednesday 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. in the First Baptist Church. Call the RSVP office (653-3011) to volunteer your services. *** Baby clothes are needed for the Storeroom, a used clothing outlet on the fourth floor of the Courthouse. The Storeroom is open every Wednesday and the first working day of each month from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Clothing may be left in front of the door when the Storeroom is closed. *** WITHOUT THE SUPPORT AND par ticipation of so many friends and volunteers, RSVP would not be the successful program it is. One such supporter is Mary Sweet, who graciously bakes an angel food cake every week for the bingo players at Sunset Nursing Home.
