Howard and Beth Collect visited Dorothy Hayen last Monday afternoon and presented her with a bouquet of flowers from the wedding of Carrie Collect and Chris Parazin. They told her all about the wedding and Dorothy loved hearing about it. The Colletts then drove to the home of Marie Navrat with another bouquet of flowers. Marie used to baby-sit Carrie when she spent time with her grandparents.
Dorothy and John Hayen and Virginia Downing had dinner together Sunday at Florence. I took Alvina Hoffman to Florence for dinner and we sat with Leo and Dorothy Scharenberg.
Marie Navrat attended the Marion Middle School concert Monday night. Amber Ratzloff was in the production. Marie went to Harvest House on Friday.
Brent and Paula Hayen visited at the Hayen farm Sunday afternoon.
Youngtown people attending the open house for the 90th birthday of Aline Bernhardt were Mary Beth Bowers, David and Shirley Bowers, Rose Olive Hett, Cy and L.Dena Goertz, Leonard and Rosalie Klassen, and Margaret Ireland. This surely was the affair of the year! Aline's daughter had home-baked 26 different cheese cakes and brought them here from Denver. I have never seen a party with so much preparation.

Rachel, Sarah, and Christine all were busy this week with parts in the musical, "Annie Get Your Gun," which will be presented on Friday and Saturday.
Youngtown FCE met at the home of Judy Christensen Tuesday noon for a microwave meal. Judy and Darlene Schmidt cooked the meal, complete with soup and dessert. They even made chocolate-covered peanuts. We brought home several receipts and will have fun trying them out. I already have made fudge from their receipt and had to take some in to Alvina Hoffman so I wouldn't have to buy larger clothes. She has better willpower then I do and is only eating one piece each day. Betty Ireland was my guest for club and she decided to join our group for the coming year. Members present other then the above mentioned were Roseva McLinden, Gertie Mahoney, LuCretia Winkley, and Lorene Smith.
