included gentle chair exercise with
Gillian Roebuck, chair tap dancing with
Mimi Ingrey, and art experiences that
let our creative side shine. Afternoon
entertainment included a wide variety
of musicians from vocalists Syria T.
Berry, Mike Kistner, and Cris Hussey to
a performance by Barbershop Quartet
What–4? and Duo Treble, with musicians
Kristi Diggins and Dean Boysen on
clarinet and trumpet, respectively. We
are truly grateful for our ability to provide
engaging activities and uplifting, quality
entertainment. The many people who
have generously supported Thursday

financial gifts, and also with their love,
have helped the program grow and
provide a valuable ministry to many
seniors in our community.

olunteers have worked hard this
fall to create a warm, welcoming
setting for the scheduled activities
and programs. Volunteers greeted
and welcomed guests into a festively
decorated room and served a light
snack and beverage. The room is
always buzzing with excitement
with guests and volunteers greeting
each other and engaging in lively
conversation. Guests are drawn to
Thursday Fellowship to explore the
gentle exercise classes, the morning
art experiences, and the quality
afternoon entertainment, but the
essential value is the engagement,
fellowship with one another, and
friendships that are formed and
enhanced by these experiences.
This fall the program started with a
bang and weekly attendance grew
