The Y’s Folk association meeting on Feb. 18 will be a potluck noon lunchen followed by a business meeting and a program aimed at and for we old folks.
Two gentlemen will come share their activity, report what is new and leave us well informed. The are Lyle Hoxtell and Mark Tysver. Lyle has been the Coordinator on Aging for Ottertail Co. Public Health Department, now in the Government Services Center, for many years. He plans to fill us in on what is new and important for “we old folks.” The health insurance and drug benefits are constantly changing. Lyle was born and schooled at Ortonville, Minn., to U of M Morris for college and then to Luther Seminary in St. Paul to become a Preacher all before he went to get a Master’s degree at NDSU. He worked in ND Human Services at Jamestown for 19 years. Lyle is a real people person who will be retiring the end of June this year.
Mark is Program Manager for the Nine County area up in North West Minnesota, a part of the total 21 county area known as; “The Land of The Dancing Sky- Area Agency on Aging.” His office is on So. Mill St. here in Fergus Falls.
He will be talking about some more Senior Issues, a contract on Title Three and other program developments. Mark is from the Carlisle area, schooled in FF and a BA degree from Moorhead State College.
