Plans for project fundraiser
Sr. Center Newsline
__ii—i---
■f PATHOWAMTH
Project Council will meet Tu-
esday, Feb. 4 at 11 a.m. First
business will be a fund raiser for
the senior program. The memb-
ership at the Friends of Elder
Citizens, who helped us so much
in the beginning of the senior
prelect, will be personally called
to attend this meeting to give
input and support. A barbecue
and auction for March are curr-
ently In the planning stage. The
craft participants' Sesquicenten-
nial quilt will be suctioned st that
time.
The Center has some busy
months ahead. Nest is the Val-
entine parade with Margaret
Balderas as queen and Santos
Garcia as king. Also, Site Mana-
ger, Gloria Watson, is preparing
the participants for the Senior
Olympics normally held the first
Friday in May in Texas City.
The talent show is one that
gets on the agenda early. Mary
Friery kindly gave her talents last
Monday to teaching the routine
to a line dance to the Alley Cat
played by Johnnie Rowton. Time
will tell if this gets off the
ground. Each year more par-
ticipants have taken part in this
event.
Although the Center did not
close for the new federal holiday
celebrating Martin Luther King’s
birthday, our Center observed a
moment of silent prayer in his
memory. It seemed an especially
appropriate tribute that this
occasion be observed in a gath-
ering of people of all walks of life,
color, and creed. This goal is
what he worked so hard to
accomplish.
Blood pressures will be taken
on the regular second Tuesday of
the month, Feb. 11. Blood sugar
testing for diabetics aad near
diabetics will be announced as
soon as the testing nurse’s
schedule is known. Interested
people may contact the Center. If
any club, organization, or in-
dividual wishes to assist the
Center with the important blood

Min n ip Green presents
Athena Club program
In response to a challenge put
forth by United Methodist Bishop
ErnestT. Dixon, Jr., First United
Methodist Church of Palacios will
be conducting a Shares in Growth
campaign Feb. 9-16.
The purpose of the campaign is
to help create new congrega-
tions and win additional mem-
bers to existing United Methodist
congregations throughout South-
west Texas.
The program, entitled Shares
in Growth, is designed to stem a
trend in the loss of membership
in the United Methodist Church
within the Southwest Texas
Annual Conference.
"From 1970 to 1984 our
Annual Conference has had a
7.8% loss in membership while
the general population has in-
creased 43%,” explained Bishop
Dixon. “The fact is, many of our
congregations have lost their
vitality. Many are no longer
enthused about our evangelism
task nor our mission as Chris-
tians to spread the word of Christ
at home and around the world.”
Bishop Dixon said that the way
the Shares in Growth process
works is by offering $45 shares to
all members of every congre-
gation in the conference. He said
each $45 share has the potential
of building one square foot of
church construction; or bring
better programs and ministries to
distressed congregations; or un-
derwrite the creation of new
congregations.
In 1986, “our goals are to
establish three new congrega-
tions and add a net gain of 2,000
new members to our congrega-
tions,” Bishop Dixon said.
The Athena Club met January
20 in the Athens Room of the
Palacios Library with Mary Fri-
ery presiding.
Mary Friery gave the Moment
of Meditation followed by the
Pledge of Allegiance. Twenty-
one members answered roll call.
A warm welcome was given
our new member, Loucile Schu-
lte.
A program was presented,
“Entertainment in Early Texas”.
Minnie Green reviewed a de-
lightful story, “Growing Up in
Texas," by Bertha McKee Do-
bie, wife of J. Frank Dobie.
Juanita Madden told of “En-
tertainment In Texas by Adults.”
She told of families reading aloud
to each other, particularly, mo-
thers gathered their children
around and read to them before
bed time. She told of her mother
weaving carpet and rag rugs on a
loom that had been in the family
since 1860. Other entertainment

was quilting parties, barn dan-
ces, medicine shows, and rodeos.
The first rodeo was in Pecos in
1884 as a contest between two
neighboring ranches. Some peo-
ple went to the theatre. The first
theatre was in Houston in
1838-the first opera house was in
Dallas in 1872.
