FIFTY PLUS CLUB

OF

ST. JOHN NEUMANN

 

If you are 50 years old or older consider joining this very active group. We now have approximately 200 paying members, with an average meeting attendance of about 100. Annual dues are extremely reasonable at $5.00 per per­son per year.

 

The first organizational meeting was held at the request of Father Frank O’Rourke on July 7, 1981 with 43 attending. The club was organized by Ann Mcintyre who was nominated for and elected as the first president.

 

Meetings are held monthly, on the second Wednesday, from 11 AM until approximately 1:30 - 2:00 PM in the Church Hall. Programs are varied each month and always entertaining and informational, with even the occasional Bingo game. The Club sends out birthday and get well cards, has visitations to the sick, and each month recognizes two special birthdays. . A randomly picked lady and gentleman who receive a nice gift.

 

SOME OF OUR SPECIAL EVENTS INCLUDE:

 

VALENTINE’S DAY: . . With a King and Queen for the day who are chosen as the recipients of some really nice gifts!

ST. PATRICK’S DAY: . . is celebrated with a special luncheon and outstanding entertainment!

MAY: .. . 50th Anniversary Celebration month. Each couple that reaches their 50th wedding anniversary in the cal­endar year is honored with gifts, corsages, flowers for the exquisitely decorated “Anniversary” table and a lovely wed­ding cake to share among them. This year we had four couples reach this landmark and enjoy this special tribute. We also served a delicious luncheon for the entire group for $3.00 per person!

FUND RAISERS: . . include our “50-50”. . tickets are sold for fifty cents each, with half going back to winners and half going to the treasury for help with expenses such as gifts.

 

We have many committees helping, with many ways to become involved and help is always welcomed! Twice a year we have covered dish luncheons which are  always fun. In November we have a mass for deceased members. Officers are chosen by a nominating committee, term of office two years, not to exceed four years at onetime. All denomina­tions are welcome and we come from all of the states in the Union.

 

This group has been very successful because we have so many really nice folks always willing to lend a hand when needed. . and. . we aim to please our members!!
