DOWN EAST SENIORS CLUB

The Down East Seniors Club held its Sept. 30 meeting at the Blind Center of North Carolina in Washington. President Stewart Rumley led the meeting. Jim Hackney played for the singing of “God Bless America” and Charlie Mike Smith gave the invocation. Dick Robinson and Dick Paul provided humor.

For the program, Jim Hackney played and led the club in singing a selection of songs that were popular between 50 and 150 years ago. After each song was sung he named the composers, the year of composition and some interesting facts. This was also done with the songs of the five U.S. Military service branches.

Phil Ryals won the 50/50 drawing.
