Social Club Band
Has Spring Tour
By SADIE YANCEY
On April 2 at 9 a. m. 30
members of the Norlina
Senior Social Club
Rhythm Band started
out on their annual
spring concert trip.
The first stop was
made at Pine Haven
Convalescent Center in
Henderson where a 45
minute program of
music was presented to
the patients who were
able to be brought to the
activity room.
Our own "Minnie
Pearl" from Grinders
Switch was enjoyed
immensely by the group
and our "courting
couple" (Clyde Ed
wards and Mrs. Ola
King) did a pantomime
to the tune of "When
You Wore a Tulip."
We met many patients
from Warren County
and enjoyed coffee and
doughnuts with the
group.
Our next stop was
Senior Citizens Home of
Henderson where we
were met by Mrs.
Louise Haithcock, a
former member of the
club and a very active
member of the band.
The same program was
repeated after which we
visited with patients and
especially enjoyed
seeing three from
Warren County: Mrs.
Sally Baskervill, Mrs.
Roberts, and Mrs.
Haithcock.
After this stop, we
went by McDonalds for
a quick lunch before
going to Guardian Care
Nursing Home where
the same performance
was given. Afterward,
we visited with the
patients, two of whom
were sisters of two of
our band members.
We arrived back in
Norlina around 3 p. m.,
tired but happy that we
had spread a little cheer
to so many less for
tunate than we.
luesday was a rest
day, but on Wedesday
we went by cars to
Warren Plaza Rest
Home where we gave a
similar performance
under the capable direc
tion of Mrs. Nell
Williams. We were well
received here. Then on
to Warren Nursing Cen
ter where the band was
in for a big surprise.
Mrs. Ora Moore acted
out the "rheumatism
round," and the "court
ing couple" repeated
their pantomime. Em
ployees and patients
here always enjoy our
performances.
Our next performance
was at Colonial Lodge
Retirement Home. This
was the first time that
we had performed
there, and it went over
so big that one of the
residents called her
daughter long distance
to tell her how much she
enjoyed it.
On Monday, April 9,
the Rev. Jon Strother,
band director, picked up
band members on the
bus and we arrived at
Louisburg Nursing Cen
ter around 10:15 a. m.
The performance began
at 10:30. A reporter
from The Franklin
Times took pictures of
the group for a write-up
about our program.
There was also a man
from the State Fair to
listen to the band in
prospect of our giving a
performacne at the fair.
At the conclusion of
the program, the ac
tivity director of the
nursing center presen
ted the band a cer
tificate of appreciation
on behalf of the
American Health Care
Association from
Louisburg Nursing Cen
ter.
Light refreshments
were served by the cen
ter staff.
A bountiful lunch was
enjoyed by the group at
the Murphy House.
The next stop was at
Burnett's Retirement
Home at Centerville
where we gave a repeat
performance. We
always look forward to
giving this program as
the patients here are so
alert and appreciative
of our music.
We were served
delicious homemade
cakes and soft drinks
before we left.
On Wednesday morn
ing, April 11, we left
Norlina at 9 a. m. with J.
B. (Skeeter) Lewis with
the bus filled to
capacity. Clyde Ed
wards drove Mrs. Mary
Brauer's car to carry
others. We arrived at
Oak Level Christian
Church at 10 a. m. The
Rev. Charles Blackmon,
pastor, gave an ap
propriate devotion after
which the Norlina
Rhythm Band presented
its musical program.
Following the program,
an Easter egg hunt was
held.
We were served a
delicious covered dish
lunch after which we
were given a tour of the
church's lovely sanc
tuary.
Then back at the
social hall, the church's
rhythm band gave a
delightful program for
us.
This event concluded
the spring tour.
