The Grapevine: The PWA and Lent in Full Force
By Rosalyn Queen on February 24, 2015 from The Grapevine
Well, Mary C. Queen did it again. She sure knows how to have a party. She recently held a baby shower for her daughter at Pete Dye Club House. The food was delicious and if you have not eaten their recently you should call the Club House and make plans to do so. When I attend these events it always gives me an opportunity to reconnect with my many friends. I had a great time talking with Mary Anne Renzelli and her daughter, Gina, with Phyliss Oliveto, Jennifer Shillenburger and all the Fredericks and Renzellis. Betty Kummer and Kandi were also there and I noted that Betty is sitting in bleachers again watching her talented grandson, Donald. And guess what? We will be doing this again soon when Mary C's daughter gets married this summer.
Please try to attend the Black History Month luncheon that will be held on Saturday, February 28 at the Uptown Event Center. The PWA always presents this program as part of their cultural awareness program. Marjorie Fuller will be the keynote speaker She is the director of the WVU Center for Black Culture. The luncheon will be held at noon and reservations and tickets can be purchased by calling 304 624 6881.
For all of you Vera Bradley purse lovers mark your calendar for March 15 for the PWA"S Purse Bingo. We have purchased over 20 of the prettiest VB purses you will ever see and each will be filled with wonderful gifts. The event will be held at the VFW hall and doors will open at noon. Bingo starts at 2:00. Refreshments will be available. Tickets are $20.00 and can be purchased from any PWA member or by calling Elinda at 304 624 6881.
We are heading into Lent full force. I hope you are becoming more active at your church. You can also donate time at the Mustard Seed, donate clothing and Hygiene items to the poor. The PWA operates a food bank in the Uptown Event Center and you are welcome to donate to it or refer someone who might be having a hard time during these winter months and might need some food assistance.
You know Dave planted kale this fall and it was coming up and I certainly hope it is surviving this snow and cold temperatures, I will let you know as soon as the snow melts. Soup, soup soup... I have had potato soup, chicken soup, vegetable soup and chili this week. I cannot wait to get on the back patio and grill a steak.
Stay in touch and until next week "Now You Have Heard It Through The Grapevine."
