Neighbors and friends gathered
together at the Licking Senior Center to celebrate their third anniversary with
an Open House on Friday, Nov. 15. Punch and cake were served and a silent
auction and quilt raffle wrapped up that day, as well.
Director Cynthia Wampner gave the
volunteers at the Senior Center the credit for making it such a success. She
pointed out that Lillian Maxey is a volunteer who may not be appreciated for
all that she does, because she does a lot of work from home. The volunteers
gave Wampner credit for making the center possible. She was described as “the
shaker and mover that started it.”
Wampner announced that Amanda Knoll
will be an interim board member until the next election, taking the vacant seat
created by the passing of Frank Steward. She also announced that Connie Kell
has become an interim board member as well, taking the position created by John
Nabity’s passing. Elections are held every two years, with the next election
scheduled for July 2020.

This horse figurine
brought some
high bids in the silent auction.

A beautiful Shuffle the Deck quilt,
made by Ann Liebert, was raffled and Judy Guthrie won. After the silent auction
closed, Marilyn Cantrell read the winners of each item. The highest item in the
auction was the Lottery Ticket Bouquet, which went for $200. Another item,
which bidders competed for, was a very detailed horse figurine, with a $125 winning
bid.
Margaret Heithold introduced
Wampner’s friends to this reporter, special guests Prunella Tittletop, Hermonie
Gingo and Baby Dumpling. These visitors brought laughter, odd looks and an
occasional fright. The standing room only crowd was evidence of the good times
at the Senior Center Open House.
