Carolyn Jefferson, assisted by Kathy Scrape and Joyce Carawan, registered 151 clients recently when the Saturday Night Jamboree celebrated Valentine’s Day on Feb. 11. D.J. Kenney Beacham provided music for dancing, while Russell Jefferson kept a close watch on the door.

Volunteers Tine Woolard, Kathy Lilley and Jim Sadler handed out valentines and pencils provided for the exchange of Valentine’s Day cards. Marlene Sprouse conducted activities and led the singing to the February birthday honorees with the help of Joyce Carawan. Carolyn Jefferson handed out perfect attendance certificates to last year’s perfect attendees.

Mathew Portal asked a blessing before the volunteers passed out the refreshments provided by the Saturday Night Jamboree. Volunteers included Kin Wood, Jim Sadler, Tine Woolard, Kathy Lilley, Michael and Kaitlyn Cutler, Joyce Carawan, Marvin Alligood, Elwood and Marlene Sprouse

The next Jamboree will be the annual Western Night, March 11, at 5 p.m. (please note the early starting time). Games of BINGO will be held prior to the Redmen serving a barbecue supper, following the regular Jamboree.

All mentally/physically-challenged residents and all volunteers are urged to don their cowboy gear and attend this fun event.

Those wishing to volunteer, provide music or refreshments or make contributions to the Saturday Night Jamboree may call Jamboree President Marlene Sprouse at 252-946-4350
