Ann, Lloyd,
I talked to Mr White at Best Foods in Siler City today and made reservations for Tuesday January 26 (changed from 1/26) at 11:30 A.M. Told him that we would be going to the cafeteria not the steak house. I guess the crowd could do both if someone wanted a steak.
Hope you will emphasize meeting at Sage Brush and carpooling since there was some concern about driving that far (?) and finding the place.
Thanks for your efforts.

It Was the Fifties

Subject: one of the best of times..
From Diana . . . and others

For those of you who remember and for those who missed out on the experience of the 50's.
This is one of the best 50's video's I've seen. You will enjoy this. But only if you were in our generation or very close. . . ... And if you were not in this generation -- listen and eat your hearts out. It was one of the best of times..

Hi. Classmates,

Virginia Barbee Stringer informed me yesterday that she will be having extensive knee surgery Friday at Moses Cones Hospital in Greensboro. The surgery will be 7:30 a.m. and Virginia asked for prayers from her classmates. Her surgery is complicated by her heart condition. Mark you calendar and let's all offer a prayer for Virginia at the time of the surgery.

Virginia says: "Give My Love To My Classmates"

2010.10.30 Slideshow iof 55.55. Red title with duplicates and runs too fast.

Our next meeting is at Best Foods Restaurant in a shopping Center on Hwy 64 in Siler City on January 26 (date changed on 12/21/09 from 1/16/10). It's easy to find.

I checked out the Mill House at Richland Creek. It's a B & B in Erect, which is down Hwy 42. They seat 100 inside and 75 outside. On line, there were rental fees mentioned but no details on food service.

At Hagan Stone Park in Pleasant Garden there are picnic shelters. One with rest room facilities seats 48. We'd have to cook on the outdoor grill or bring a picnic.

I'll save notes on all of these for discussion at the next meeting.

Ann

Has anybody ever heard of this? It is somewhere around Seagrove on Erect Rd. I was just reading about it on their website www.MillHouseatRichlandCreek.com after seeing an ad in a paper about it.

I was trying to get the directions there but could not from their website (but then I am more computer challenged than you guys).

The fact that they also have an outdoor site made me think about spring there (and maybe cheaper than their building for a function like ours). Peggie Beeker said the next meeting is in Siler City whenever that is. Glad to hear you might venture out more from Asheboro. That was what I was trying to do several years ago when I suggested Hagan Stone Park for one site. Anyway, thought I would pass it along while I was thinking about it. edna faye
