We began our week with some rain, snow, wind, fog and
occasional sun. But in spite of it all, the weather is quite pleasant
for the middle of November.
Friends and relatives gathered together on Monday, Nov. 10
to say good-bye to one of our outstanding community leaders.
Our dear friend, Florence Robinson passed away on Friday,
Nov.7 at Washoe Medical Center following a brief illness. The
entire community was in shock hearing this sad news. Florence
was a very special person. She devoted many years of her life to
the Nye County School system, was very active in many
community organizations and was aloyal supporterofthe Senior
Center. She served for many years on the Senior Center Project
Council and endless hours of volunteer work for the betterment
of the center. She touched many people along the way with her
strength and unrelenting generosity. She is gone now, but not
forgotten. Memories of her are etched in our hearts and she will
be truly missed. Our love and prayers are with her family in their
time of sorrow. A great lady and a true friend.
The annual Chrismaas Bazaar event is being held at the
Convention Center on November 22. The senior center will be
selling burritos, homemade candies and soda pop as a fund-

We are indeed grateful for the food donations we receive. Our
sincere thank you to Joann Woodworth, Kenneth Datz, Lillie and

seniors to enjoy. And thanks to our staff who give the extra time
and work to ensure our guests an excellent dinner.

around and see just how much
time and energy is spent keep-
ing the center going for you. A
good job is done by a very few.
At the Veterans Day celebra-
tion the senior center had a
table to sell ice cream (and it
seems to have been enjoyed by
all). There were two seniors
that manned the table all day.
There was relief by two who
help when ever they can, al-
though they are not seniors.
We had an excellent day and
sold out. Most were little ones
and ice cream cones. You all
know how good the banana
splits are. Where were you?
Congratulations to Chris
and Clarey Filter, they now
r
have a great, great great grand baby, the fifth generation.
We need help. We now have shelving for our shed, and we
need someone with a hammer and nails. I am sure you have the
picture.
We will celebrate Thanksgiving on November 26. Please let
us know if you will be joining us as we will love having you help
us celebrate. This will help Mike plan for the meal.
