Last Monday we held our annual senior citizens spelling bee at the Center. Congratulations are in order to our winners: (1) Marlys Larson, (2) May Wiese and (3) Marlys Klovstad.
Everyone who participated received a Certificate of Participation and a little "bee" pin. Those in the winners' circle also received Certificates plus prizes of Fergus Bucks.
Special thanks are due our honorable judges: Shirley Dowzak with dictionary, Dorothy Donley and Mae Harthun. And thanks too to Mae Harthun for the delicious refreshments enjoyed by all.
Scheduled for next week, there will be an opportunity for ear wax check and hearing aid cleaning with John Armstrong at 10:30 a.m. on Wednesday. This is a free service but call 736-6842 for an appointment.

Wednesday, Attorney Jamison Cichosz will present a seminar on Patients Bill of Rights at 11:30 a.m. It is important to know and understand these rights especially for people in assisted living facilities and nursing homes.

Finally, mark your calendar for Friday, May 9. Our annnual meeting which includes election of board members begins at 1 p.m.
And a bit of trivia — If you are a baseball fan, you're probably aware that it's that time again, but did you know that baseball's anthem, "Take Me Out To The Ballgame," is celebrating it's 100th anniversary this year?

Comments
The Daily Journal is happy to host community conversations about news and life in Fergus Falls and the surrounding area. As hosts, we expect guests will show respect for each other. That means we don't threaten or defame each other, and we keep conversations free of personal attacks. Witty is great. Abusive is not. If you think a post violates these standards, don't escalate the situation. Instead, flag the comment to alert us. We'll take action if necessary. It's not hard. This should be a place where people want to read and contribute -- a place for spirited exchanges of opinion. So those who persist with racist, defamatory or abusive postings risk losing the privilege to post at all.Post a comment
