Next OWLS meeting on April 27th
The first meeting was held on May 17, 2005 as an informal coffee and social hour. Twenty people attended, six couples and eight singles. This meeting was held specifically to determine if there was sufficient interest in forming a group, open to all ages as well as seniors.
The group was very enthusiastic about meeting monthly, having a potluck each time.
After a couple of months, it was suggested to change the original name of “Adult Fellowship of Friends” to OWLS (Older, Wiser Lutheran(s) which has since become Older Wiser Lutheran Seniors).
We meet on the fourth Thursday of each month except November, when we meet the second Thursday for a catered Thanksgiving dinner and social time. If we decide on a December meeting, it is also held on the second Thursday, usually with singing of carols. Each year we go to a dinner-theater play at White Pines near Oregon, Illinois.
A free will offering is given each month and monies collected are given away to projects at church or to charitable groups around the community. OWLS also hosts Sunday morning coffee hour periodically.

Twenty Three OWLS gathered on March 23 for fun, fellowship and food. After the potluck the best was yet to come with a table full of deserts. And today besides announcing all the birthdays this month, we got to celebrate Sherri and Chucks 54th wedding anniversary which was today. Markees and Donna were the servers and decorators. Donna announced that the person at each table with 7 shamrocks on their placemat wins the Gold pot in the center of the decorations.
Dave Markee gave the treasurer report and the group gave $25 memorials for Ron Josh and Audrey Kotenberg. OWLS will be serving at coffee hour next week and help is needed. The trip to the Fireside to see the Booth Bros. is next Wed. with 12 people going. One additional ticket is available if someone is interested. Drivers were assigned. Servers are needed for future months.
After the meeting a group of 7 people played the card game, Screwey. Much laughter ensued. Merlin and Roger engaged in a game of cribbage with each winning one game.
Next Month:
OWLS will meet next month on April 27 at noon. The Neitzel’s will be servers.
