APRIL 12, 2010, Getting together for the evening.
We had a good time as we played the game, "DID YOU EVER?" That is a game of questions.Example: "Did you ever lock your self out of your house?"the questions and jokes brought on a lot of laughs.
We also discussed the Mini Reunion that will take place on Saturday, July 31. at the Bellwood Fire Hall Party room. The reunion committee has been working with plans for a great evening to be had by all that attend.
Before Bob Himes received his dinner, he received a call to assist the fire company with his bulldozer to help distinguish a forest fire on Brush Mountain.
We celebrated Suzanne Woomer Stehley's birthday. No pictures were taken.

MARCH, A PARADE OF CLASSMATES CAME TOGETHER!
As we gathered together for the evening and ate dinner, we celebrated the birthday's of Kathie Cross McConnell and Beverly McGinnis Hollabaugh with individual birthday cakes for them to take home. Compliments of Hoss's.
Jenny told a few jokes and them described how our mind works as we age and how we look at things differently throughtout the aging periods of life. The example she used was about a man working on a project and before he could finish, he must make a trip to the store for something to complete the project he was doing. Ages of the man were divided into 10 year periods, describing our appearences before leaving the house and how our priorities change. We all change as we age.
When we first fell in love, we couldn't keep our hands off each other. We were always hugging, kissing and holding hands. As we age, TODAY, we sometimes neglect to do so. That is what gave Jenny the idea for the entertainment for the evening. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU AND YOUR SPOUSE HELD HANDS?
If you were blindfolded, could you identify your spouse's hands out of a group of others? The women sat in a circle in the center of the room. A man was blindfolded and lead around the group of women feeling hands until he choose the ones he thought was his spouse. After the men took their turn, we gave the women the same challenge. Did I forget to tell you? After the person was blindfolded those sitting in the seats would change places. It was more difficult than you would think. Sorry to say only one man identified his wife's hand by feel. That was John McConnell. Three women identified their husbands. Sue Brubaker choose Kenny's,Alice Oswald choose Jack's, and Pat Helsley choose John's. We all had a great time.
LET US ALL SPEND MORE TME HOLDING OUR SPOUSES HAND.

CLASSMATES AND SWEETHEARTS
CLASSMATES and SWEETHEARTS celebrate Valentine's Day at Hoss's on Monday, February 8th. Classmates and spouses joined together for a fun filled evening of games and laughter.
After dinner we celebrated the February birthday's of John & Jim Helsley, Walt Carothers and Jenny Showalter with birthday cakes and song. At that time Jenny shared several topics and class news with the group.
1. A mini class Reunion will be held Saturday, July 31, at the Bellwood Fire Hall
Banquet Room. The class reunion committee is looking for a good turn out.
2. Help for seniors with "Free Income Tax Preparation" and "Property/Rent Rebate Filing".
3. Jim & John Helsley both suffered heart attacks in January. Twins always do thing together.
4. George Partner broke his foot limiting his means of transportation. Since he had a bad stroke several years ago and cannot drive, he walks or rides his bicycle everywhere.
As the evening progressed, the men shared with the group what they thought was a great gift Valentine for their spouse. After hearing all of their suggestions, a number was pulled out of a hat and the winner was presented a Sweetheart Valentine starter kit to present to his sweetheart. The contents in the kit was a bottle of Italian wine, Victoria Secret Body splash, tea light candle holder and candle, chocolate kisses and a pair of red silk lacy thong.
We then played a game called "THAT'S ME!" As a number was called, that person would stand up and a statement was read. That person would call out "That Me!" Some of the statements were pretty funny. Ten winners received a Valentine Present Bag as we randomly drew numbers from a hat. Everyone enjoyed the evening with a lot of laughs. If you got Cabin Fever from the winter blues come out March 8th and enjoy an evening of fun with a great group of people.

MERRY CHRISTMAS
Christmas Party on December 14. Classmates and spouses enjoyed a fun filled evening as we celebrated Christmas at Hoss's. Dennie Beecher and his wife Barbara surprised us by joining the group for the evening. After dinner, Jenny read a Thank you letter we received from The Bellwood-Antis Council of Churches for our canned good donations to the Food Share Program in our community, serving 89 families with a food basket for Thanksgiving. Also, a Thank you from the Christmas Carol Foundation for the donates of $565 from the class. The Classmates from the Class of '62 are the best. Thank you for always supporting your class with all of our projects we engage in.
We celebrated Kathy Madara and John Cook's birthdays by singing "Happy Birthday". On a sadder note it was mentioned, Jay Nedimyer a former classmate of ours passed away.
As the evening continued, twelve volunteers entertained the group with imitating the characters of the "Twelve Days of Christmas" while the rest sang the song. That was the highlight of the evening. After that, we played Christmas Trivia and then we played Christmas Gift Grab exchange. It was a great party bringing a close to the year of 2009.
A "HAPPY NEW YEAR" to you all. We will not get together until February 8, 2010. Make getting together with your classmates a New Years Resolution and join in on the fun.

GIVING THANKS!
The Party Room at Hoss's was filled with thirty-five special individuals sharing of their bountiful harvest, as we collected four large boxes of groceries that we gave to the Bellwood-Antis Food Share Program. Our gracious donation will add to the distributions of Thanksgiving food baskets serving 100 families in our area.
As we talked about Thanksgiving, several classmates shared with the group, the things they are thankful for. We all should be thankful that we are Americans, living in a country with bountiful resources and the willingness to share with others that are in need. We also passed a canister around the room taking donations for the Christmas Carol Foundation. That evening we collected $400 and I am still receiving checks in the mail. I will be sending the total amount received on November 30, as WFBG Radio will start to announce each day from December 12th through 24Th, a Christmas Carol Gift to an unfortunate family experiencing a catastrophic situation this year helping to make Christmas a little brighter.
John & Bonnie Moffa traveled from Delaware and surprised us with their visit for the evening. We were also pleased to see Kay Hornberger Pfahler and Darlene Thomas Detwiler once again. It is hard for some people to attend every get together do to our busy life styles today. Speaking for myself, as I have become older sometimes I get involved in many things and the dates conflict. It is always a pleasure when we get together.
We celebrated Kenny Brubaker 's birthday with Bob Himes leading us in song. As the evening progressed we played "Thanksgiving Fact or Fiction", a series of questions on how much do we know about a holiday we have been celebrating for years?
We the Bellwood-Antis Class of '62 is a special breed of people that reach out to others in need. Thank you all for being so generous and caring.
