On the morning of May 10 members of the Peoples United Methodist Church began to prepare Ellis Hall for the largest luncheon of the year. Twenty three were representing the church in the setting up of tables and chairs with colorful table clothes, setting of silverware and eventually the meals that were dispersed among 67 guests. 16 of those guests had to sing for their meal as they included the director of the South Portland High School Jazz Choir and its 15 members.

Preceding the meal the Choir sang to the crowd of older folks. Many of the songs they sang were familiar to the listeners while others were modern versions of classic popular songs in the style of the Pentatonics, a rather well-known modern Acapella singing group. Ruth had acquired this program for which we all thank her. The meal, as usual, was prepared by our chef-in-residence Brad. The main course was chicken-pot-pie and the dessert was a chocolate square prepared by Rosemary. Coordination of the event is in the hands of Marlene assisted by a number of callers.

Some folks get there early just to communicate with others that may be friends or with folks that they might not have seen since the last luncheon.

All who have attended seem to enjoy themselves and all seem to be anxious for the next luncheon which will be held on Thursday, June14 at the same time. Since it will be Flag Day the program will center on the folding of the American flag and what each of the folds mean. Sea Cadets will be involved in the program.

NO luncheons will be held in July or August but will definitely return in September
