Old Man Winter fails to stop the Dibble Seniors


Dibble Senior Citizens News

Greetings to the Seniors of the Dibble Community!!!

Old Man Winter has really made his presence know as he blasted into Oklahoma over Christmas and New Years holidays!! Dibble seniors were out in full force, despite inclement weather. They were suited up and ready to hunt bear!! I especially like Charlotte Offholter’s tiger stripped hat that covers up her bad ear!!

Remember our sick and injured. We are especially hard hit with the passing on Donald, son of our cook, Carol Brown. Donald fought long and hard and is now in a better place. Our thoughts are with you, Carol, and your family.

Remember Pay Back Time at Regional Food Bank on Tuesday, Feb. 9th. The van will leave the center at 12:15 and we will work approx. 3 hours. We need young muscles!!

It has been suggested that our next field trip be to Oklahoma Opry in OKC. Feel free to add your comments.

Food Pantry folks – don’t get discouraged about your T-shirts, as I have been rather busy but am hot on their trail!

Big thanks to Spencer’s in Blanchard this past year for their continued support, as they are good to the Senior Community.

Let’s hope 2012 will be better than 2009, and some of our problems get worked out, both locally and nationally. I remember my Uncle Walter once saying, in a stressful time, that “Americans may get down, but they ain’t never out!!” As we plow into this new year, in an environment filled with plastic CEO’s, banksters and health care industry reform, his message is timely.

Congratulation to Arthur and Mary Evett as they celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary! Our esteemed vice-president, Dale McAskill, says he doesn’t know if he will be married to Beth for 50 years or not. He says Walmart is opening up a new wedding chapel in their stores and the next time he gets married, he’ll give it a try, as their return policy is much better than the existing system!! He ain’t right!!
Volunteer report for Dec. – 70 volunteers with 1302 hours!

All for now…………..
