The Senior Center has had four good months. Our snow bird friends have left us for the summer. We will miss them but look forward for their return.
Surprise visit
Mike Phillips, one of the original Board Members paid us a visit. Mike stayed for lunch and played Bingo before heading back to Rochester, N.Y. It’s always a pleasure to spend time with a member who has helped make our Center what it is today.
New Board Members:
We would like to welcome Christine Blahut and Julie Luke as new Board Members. Christine will be in charge of Publicity. Christine and her husband Eric do a great job cooking lunch on Tuesday. She also is

**SENIOR FEATURE** (highlighting people and events at KBH Senior Center)
Our own artist in residence, Lois Poignee, has instructed our oil painting class since 1993. Lois uses the three color method of oil painting. Lois trained under artist Silva Fernandes for three years in Rhode Island. Each spring, the talented class enters the New Hanover Senior Games competition and has won many ribbons. The class meets on Mondays and Thursdays, from 11AM – 2 PM. Lois donates her time to teach the class so the cost is only $1.00 per session. Students of all abilities from beginner to advanced are welcome. Please bring your own supplies. Lois welcomes visitors, so stop in. (Composed by Christine Blahut)
