Two sessions are held each Wednesday at 10:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. William Feather We, as humans, have fences that divide us in many ways. Most of us are aware of the fact that we can't compare favorably with some of our friends and neighbors, but on the other hand, feel that we have an edge on others that we know. Among the many divisions, one of the most popular could be the separation of "Goodies" from the "Baddies". The "Baddies" seemingly use any method possible to satisfy their own personal desires. The "Goodies", across the fence from the "Baddies", will look upon others with compassion, love and devotion - their concern being to alleviate the ills of their fellow men. The Lions Club of Fridley stands tall among the "Goodies". Among the many benevolent activities that the Lions have initiated in Fridley is their adoption of the area seniors. Probably the most appreciated is the "Lions Dinner" that is hosted by the Lions every year. Not only do the seniors have the opportunity to sit down to a grand repast but they are treated in such a royal fashion. They are entertained with music, given refreshments and gifts. The guests also have a chance to see others who they may not see any other time of the year. It's no wonder that the seniors look forward to this occasion so eagerly and await the day with anticipation. Above all of the wonderful things that the Lions do for us at the dinner, the one outstanding thing that we can be assured of is to know that we are loved. Only a "Goodie" can show that and so silently.

Senior Center Manager Tony Lorbeski 571-6000, extension 222 GOLDEN ARMS ` S TO ALL OLD TIME BOWLERS Maple Lis has, for the past several years, been giving seniors a special break on bowling fees. Every Monday and Friday at 1:00 p.m. , anywhere from 30 to 50 seniors have been taking advantage of this opportunity for exercise, fun and sociability. Maple Lane offers a new 40% reduction in fees, from $1.20 regular to 70 cents. In addition, they provide free coffee and a cookie. Recently, in an effort to make the bowling even more interesting, the management at Maple Lanes has tried something new. For an extra dollar, it is now possible to win back extra money which works like this. Each rack has some colored pins in it and when any of the colored pins are in the head-pin position and the bowler gets a strike, he will receive one dollar. There are several other ways to win up to three dollars on a single shot. Further explanations are posted at the lanes. There is another way to be a winner. Each bowler gets a numbered ticket and three tickets are drawn during the course of bowling time. The three people who have the lucky numbers get a chance to win a nice prize, given by Maple Lanes, if they strike. One of the seniors has won three prizes. Starting in January, and on a trial basis for the following two months , two of Fridley's prominent business people have generously offered to provide an extra prize to the senior's bowling program. Bob's Produce will give a five dollar certificate and neighboring Town Crier will also give a five dollar certificate. Both have been long time businesses in Fridley and have grown with our City. Winners of these prizes will be on a special handicap system and every one will have a chance to win regardless of bowling experience or ability. Maple Lanes is located on Highway 65 just south of the Mississippi Street crossing. Reservations are not necessary, just come and enjoy being with your fellow bowlers. Bernice and Bob are congenial hosts. Call them at 571-3520. �D4, EORQAR 1 ;r �zo 2 3 14 Bowling, Maple Lane Tax Assistance, 9 am Party Whist, PV 1:00 Sr Discussion, 10:0 City Hall Needlepoint, PV 9:3 500, PV, 10 & 1 Cribbage, PV 1:30 Holiday SLICED TURKEY BREAST BEEF MACARONI CSRL BAKED HAM 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 Bowling, Maple Lanes Blood Pressure 11:30 Tax Assistance, 9 am Party Whist, PV 1:00 Sr Discussion, 10:0 City Hall Net Darning, VG 1:30 Needlepoint, PV 9:3 Square Dance, PV 1:00 FFF Meeting, 1:00 Hardanger, PV 1:30 Open Canvas Needlept 500, PV, 10 & 1 Cribbage, PV 1:30 VG 9:30 Holiday Bowling, Maple Lane MEAT CHOW MEIN BBQ CHICKEN ROAST PORK/GRAVY BATTERED FISH MEATLOAF 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 Bowling, Maple Lanes Target Shopping Tax Assistance, 9 am Blood Pressure 12:30 Sr Discussion, 10:0 City Hall Party Whist, PV 1:00 Square Dance, PV 1:00 Open Canvas Needle p t 500, PV, 10 & 1 Needlepoint, PV 9:3 Hardanger, PV 1:30 VG 9:30 Holiday Net Darning, VG 1:30 Cribbage, PV 1:30 Bowling, Maple Lane SALISBURY STEAK HAM LOAF SPAGHETTI/MEAT SAUCE BAKED CHICKEN TUNA NOODLE CSRL 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Tax Assistance, 9 am Party Whist, PV 1 :00 Sr Discussion, 10:0 FFF Meeting, 1:00 City Hall PRESIDENT'S DAY 500, PV, 10 & 1 Needlepoint, PV 9:3 Open Canvas Needlept Net Darning, PV 9:30 VG 9:30 Cribbage, PV 1:30 Holiday day Bowling, Maple Lane LIVER/GRAVY/ONIONS PORK CUTLET SWEDISH MEATBALLS CHICKEN ALA KING 26 27 28 29 L.
