JAY — The Jay Livermore Falls Seniors held their first meeting of the season on Sept. 12 with 34 members and three guests present. The guests were Claudette Warren, Pat Laverdiere and Donna Cook.
The session began with a casserole meal provided by the members with a variety of food for every taste. Nancy Couture furnished the cake for dessert.
Shirley Couture, chairwoman, then opened the regular meeting with a prayer, salute to the flag and a moment of silence for the departed members and for the men and women serving the country here and abroad.
The treasurer’s and secretary’s reports were read and accepted as read. To the members who were sick during the summer Shirley wished them all well, and Edith LeBlanc was welcomed back after being absent due to an accident.
