MEMORIES FROM THE DECEMBER 2015 ISSUE OF TRI-V UMPH
There were no members requesting our prayers in December. Santa arrived at the Livonia YMCA for the Children’s Christmas Party. All the children and members enjoyed the many activities—swimming, bouncing in the bounce house, crafting and playing with yoga balls. All got to visit with Santa and open a present.
The Tri-V Wives Christmas luncheon is planned for December 12 at Alfoccino Restaurant in Farmington Hills.
MARBLES will be held the first Saturday in January. MARBLES had Dave Burke in first place with 23 points; John Lardin second place with 19 points and a 4-way tie for third place—Amber Trachsel, Brian Trachsel, Jane Trachsel and Jay Trachsel.
Pinochle standings as of November had Jane Trachsel in first place with 53 points; Mike Trachsel in second place with 51 points and Romas Bliudzius in third place with 49 points. For the months of October and November there was only one house for pinochle each evening.
The November social was a trip to Motown Museum followed by dinner at the Hop Cat restaurant in Detroit. Twenty one people attended the Motown Museum tour and twenty two enjoyed dinner.
The Council Party will be held on Saturday, January 9 and the Henry Ford Museum. After the tour dinner will be at L. A. Bistro Restaurant in Dearborn.
There were less than 10 Christmas greetings in the Tri-V Umph in December of 2015.
Please share your special memories of how you spent Christmas in years past. I remember getting my first bike and electric train. Take the time to watch the little ones, whether they are your children, grandchildren or great grandchildren open those gifts and the look of excitement on their faces and think back when it was their mom or dad you watched. Christmas time is such a special time for all of us.
To most of the children it is a time to see if Santa brought that special present that they tried so hard to be good to receive. As we age the special time advances to sharing the birth of Jesus on Christmas Day and our family and friends. We are so blessed to be a part of this wonderful family. Until we meet next month in print, the Good Lord willing, take care of one another.
