GIBSON GLEANINGS
Barbara Ray
January 13, 2012
One thing you have to say aboutNew Englandweather – it’s never boring! We got a good six inches of powdery snow yesterday; this morning we got a drizzly rain and right now it’s sleeting. I also heard temperatures on Sunday will drop down to somewhere between 0 and 10 degrees. (I’m sure all those folks in sunnyCaliforniamust be bored silly.) Stay warm and have a nice day.
That’s enough about the weather. Believe it or not I need to remind everyone that our 13th Annual Auction is coming up on Thursday, February 9th. It will be held once again in the dining and activity rooms of theGibsonCenter. It will start at 5:30 that evening and the cost is still $10 per person. We will once again be serving those outstanding hors D’oeuvres prepared by our ownRick Spencer and his great kitchen staff. There will be a 50/50 raffle and cash bar as well as live and silent auctions. This is a major fund raiser for theGibsonCenter so we hope you will mark your calendars and join us that evening. Reservations are suggested (356-3231).
