ANTIQUES GROVE SHOW: MONDAY, JAN. 27 Do you have any old jewelry or collectibles around the house that you wonder about their origin or age or value? If so, bring them to the Center on Monday, Jan. 27, when two local dealers will be here to evaluate your treasures. Jeweler Johnny Turner, of Crown Jewelers in Franklin, will be on hand to examine your jewelry. He says each person can bring several pieces. Antiques dealer, Stacey Harris-Fish from Three French Hens in Nolensville, will discuss your collectibles and small furniture pieces — pretty much anything except knives and clocks. Our guest experts will tell you what price they would put on your items if they were for sale in their respective stores. Johnny and Stacey are not appraisers, however, so the information they offer will not be for insurance purposes. You should begin arriving by 9:30 on the morning of the 27th so staff can register you. Please don’t bring anything larger or heavier than you can carry by yourself. Antiques Grove Show begins at 10 a.m., and lunch ($4) will follow at 11:30. Please sign up by Thurs., Jan 23, and indicate how many items you plan to bring. Editor’s Note: I have four of Mama’s pearl necklaces. They are likely all costume jewelry with little dollar-value, but I plan to learn for sure from Johnny. I also have an interesting old floor lamp and am curious to find out if Stacey can tell me anything about it. -Libby
BINGO FOR JANUARY BIRTHDAY POTLUCK We are keeping it simple — and social — for Birthday Potluck this month by playing a hearty round of Bingo. Join us for an afternoon of great food and great fellowship this January 15. Prizes will be sponsored by Walgreens. Lunch is at 11:30. Bingo at noon. The Center provides the main course. Please bring a side dish.
RED HAT SOCIETY 2014 PLANNING MEETING: JAN. 22 The Red Hat Society will hold their 2014 Planning Meeting at the Center on Wednesday, Jan. 22 at 10 a.m. This is when the group decides what trips they want to take for the year. It’s a fun morning. Everyone brings lunch, and they usually collect a small donation for the year’s expenses.
