May was our last meeting for the Young At Heart group of Spirit of Christ Catholic Community for this year and it was announced that the new officers would take over in September since no meetings are held during the summer months of June, July and August. On Thursday evening the new executive board members took the floor to be introduced. From left to right is the new president, vice-president, secretary and treasurer.
Their hope is to continue the tradition of past officers of keeping Young At Heart a religious, vital, exciting, interesting, friendly and happy group.
The Board of Directors is made up of the officers plus the following committees: 1) Book Club meets once a month to share opinions on books read; 2) Caring Hearts, meets once a month to discuss who and where they will visit those that are ill or in nursing homes; 3) Cards and Games, meets once a month for sharing a potluck and having fun playing cards, dominoes, etc.; 4) Sunshine, sends sympathy and get well cards to ailing members; 5) Casino, bus takes persons free of charge to Blackhawk; 6) Crafts for a Cause, meets once a month to work on projects to be given to area nursing/assisted living homes 7) Decorations, makes decorations for dinners/luncheons; 8) Outside Activities, open to anyone who knows of a fun activity for other YAH members to attend; 9) First Friday Breakfast; after mass on 1st Friday a breakfast is served; 10) New Members/Name Tags, keeps lists up to date of new members; 11) Callers, makes sure everyone is notified of upcoming dinners/luncheons or funerals; 12) Entertainment, finds and contracts entertainment for dinners/luncheons; 13) Food, buys and prepares food for luncheons and dinner plus the many volunteers who set out the food and serve; and 14) Events Coordinator, needs to know how and where to set up tables and have drinks ready for serving; 15) Photography, photos taken at different functions to display at dinners/luncheons and later placed in albums for a historical remembrance of YAH; 16) Newsletter keeps us apprised of what has happened, what is happening and what will happen!
To have a successful Young At Heart group it takes the combined efforts of the Board plus the many volunteers willing to help whether it be in the kitchen, making decorations, visiting nursing homes, working on projects to give to the needy, or attending the different functions of the group.
The new Board is looking forward to 2014-2015 Young at Heart year!
