FREE DINNER CELEBRATES SENIOR CITIZENS

In honor of Nursing Home Resident's Day celebrated every May, Blaine Christian Church, 7018 Putney Road (corner of Joyfield and Putney Roads), will again host an “Annual Senior Citizens Dinner” for our community. Blaine extends an invitation to this special occasion to those who live in assisted living facilities in Benzie and Manistee Counties, their relatives, care givers, and any senior citizen in our area who would like to come, including anyone in a wheelchair. This year’s dinner at Blaine will be served on Thursday, May 16th, at 4:30 pm. There is no cost to attend. However, anyone interested in coming is asked to make reservations by calling Bonnie Putney, 231/499-6788, no later than Sunday, May 5th. Blaine’s church family will provide a home cooked meal. Betsie Bay Minstrels will present a program after dinner. Blaine’s church family, especially our senior citizens, will visit with our guests, as well as host, help, and serve the meal. On May 16, 2002, the third Thursday in May was designated as “Nursing Home Residents Day” by proclamation of Michigan’s Governor. The declaration states: "Whereas: Nursing Home Resident's Day is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate and recognize the tremendous contributions nursing home residents have made to the growth, prosperity, and cultural richness of our Great Lakes State. Therefore I, John Engler, Governor of the State of Michigan, do hereby declare May 16, 2002 as NURSING HOME RESIDENT'S DAY . . . " Blaine Christian Church looks forward to celebrating this evening with our community.
