TN SHIP 12 Lunch & Program Tribute to Veterans
We are in for a super treat this month — Lonnie Hill and the Fireside Pickers are going to play for us at Birthday Potluck. If you were here for Potluck in August of 2014, you will most likely remember the fabulous music they make. In addition to being a seasoned country and gospel artist himself, Lonnie also showcases up-and-coming acts on The Lonnie Hill Country/Gospel Show, a program he produces for WUXP Ch. 30.
And, talk about seasoned. The Fireside Pickers started back in in 1977. The “new” members have been with the band for over 25 years. Individually, they are great musicians. Together, they blend to make one heck of a bluegrass band! Make your plans to be here this Nov. 18th for Potluck. Lunch is at 11:30, and the music will begin about noon. The Center provides the main course. Please bring a side dish.

The Red Hat Society does not meet in November.
The most inspiring part of the holiday season is the spirit of generosity that overcomes a community, especially a small rural community. It is in this spirit that FiftyForward College Grove has adopted a family in need for Christmas through the College
Grove Elementary school. This will give center members the opportunity to purchase gifts from the family’s wish list to make their holidays a little
The Cumberland Valley Quilt Association hopes to display 100 quilts at the Historic Franklin Quilt Show on Nov. 6. Their exhibit will include reproduction Civil War, traditional, art and modern quilts. There will also be a number of area vendors that specialize in quilt making. If you like quilts, this will be a trip for you. After the quilt show, we have reservations at Barbara’s Home Cookin’, a family-style restaurant in the Grassland community that’s off the beaten path and gets rave reviews. The fee for the quilt show is $5. The van fee is $5. The van will leave the Center at 9:30 a.m.
brighter. We will post the wish list in the center so you can see the items they are asking for. I hope this will be a re-
warding experience for all who participate in this giving back program.

“Meet the Coopers” is a holiday comedy starring Diane Keaton, John Goodman and Alan Arkin. How about we have a quick lunch at Chick-fil-A, and
then hop on over to the theatre to enjoy this funny flick. Carmike Theatre offers a senior discount. For seniors 60+, the ticket price is $8.25 plus tax. Van fee is $4. The theatre has not posted show times yet, but we will leave the Center at 10:30 or 11. We will advise exact departure time as we get closer.
THURSDAY, NOV. 5 HOW TO STAY YOUNG LIFE SPRING CHIROPRACTIC Dr. Gillian Guin heads up Life Spring Chiropractic in Franklin and she will be here to present “How to Stay Young the First 100 Years.” It’s a fun program that’s full of valuable information. After the program, Dr. Guin will also offer free spinal screenings to those who want one. It’s done with a portable scanner, with your clothes on, and only takes a minute. And that’s not all, folks. On top of this, Life Spring Chiropractic is going to provide lunch at no charge. Deadline for lunch reservations is Tues., Nov. 3.
THURSDAY, NOV. 12 TRIBUTE TO VETERANS We hope you will join us as we pay tribute to our veterans this day. Cadets from Page High School’s ROTC program will present and retreat the colors, and Marcella Baker will play some beautiful patriotic music. Our principal speakers will be State Senator Jack Johnson and State Representative Glen Casada. Once again, our friends at Ford-Lincoln of Franklin have sponsored this event, which allows us to offer lunch free to veterans and spouses (and widows) of veterans. For all others, lunch is $5. We’ll probably bring in barbeque. Deadline for lunch reservations is Tues., Nov. 10.
We would once again like to exhibit military photographs at the Center this year, as part of our Veterans Day tribute. If you are a veteran, please bring in a photo from your military days. If your husband was a veteran, please bring his picture in for our display also. In addition to our photo exhibit, massage therapist Kathy McFarlane is going to create one of her gorgeous placemats for the event, and we would like some information from our veterans to include on it. If you are a veteran, or the spouse of veteran, please give us information like this: name, rank at discharge branch served, unit served and dates enlisted where you served if applicable, which war or conflict other details such as which ship you were on, or which plane you flew Please give your information to a staff member and, if all goes according to plan, it will be part of Kathy’s placemat design for our luncheon Nov. 12. The deadline to submit this information is Nov. 3.
