We’ve got three more weeks until our next All-You-Can-Eat Taco Feed. It’s Hells Canyon Days in Beautiful Cambridge, Idaho, on June 5th and 6th! There will be many arts, crafts, and food vendors in the downtown area. There is a Quilt show, two nights of Rodeo on Friday and Saturday, and our All-You-Can-Eat Taco Feed is on Friday night, June 5th, from 4 to 7:00 p.m. Saturday, there is a Truck show, a car show, the Pit Barbecue, and a concert to round out the evening.
I have always liked this celebration. It’s put on by the Cambridge Commercial Club and has grown from a small local event to a magnificent celebration of our area. After all, Cambridge is billed as the “Gateway to Hells Canyon”. Plus, it’s always fun to people-watch and see what individuals have made or are selling. I hope gas prices don’t keep people away this year.
This coming Monday, May 18th, Rick Wemmer, our Board President, and I will travel to Garden Valley for a Quarterly EOA Meeting. In case you didn’t know, EOA (Elderly Opportunity Agency) is the Agency we contract with that supports our Transportation program. They, like us, are a 501(c)(3) organization. And, like us, they have requirements they must meet as well. One of them is a Quarterly meeting with all the centers that contract with them. There, we share with other centers what is going on in our centers, how we are managing, fundraiser ideas, etc. Plus, we get to have lunch with the center we are meeting with. I’ve never been to Garden Valley before, so I’m looking forward to visiting the area.
Monday, May 18th, is the date of our next Foot Clinic. I misspoke when I reported last week that it was on Monday, May 25. A few of my smart seniors reminded me that it was Memorial Day! I went back to recheck the book, and the date was changed to the 18th. I hope it didn’t affect too many of you. Anyway, apologies to all!
It’s time for the menu. Friday, May 22nd: Pizza! Combination, Chicken Alfredo, Hawaiian, Sausage, Pepperoni, and Mushroom or Vegetarian . Salad, Mandarin Oranges, and dessert. Wednesday, May 27th: Roast Chicken, Mashed Potatoes and Gravy, Corn, Coleslaw, Mixed Fruit Wheat Rolls, and Magic Cookies. Friday, May 29th: Costco Hot Dogs on a bun, Salad. Sauerkraut, French Fries, Mixed Fruit, and Magic cookies.
That’s enough for this week. Until next time, practice gratitude, you will be amazed at how much happier you feel!
