My favorite day of the week is when I write this article. I look so forward to writing this that the start of each new week is the start of my day.

We had a fantastic Third Friday Luncheon with awesome food and so much food that we even had a drawing for a free cake. We also had a drawing for some real neat flowers that come with LED lights and blink and put on the best show you ever saw. The new Tenant Association Officers did an excellent job. Thank you.

This week started off with a Holiday. Our office was closed in observance of Martin Luther King, Jr’s Birthday. Martin Luther King Jr. Day is a United States holiday marking the birth date of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., observed on the third Monday of January each year, around the time of King’s birthday, January 15. It is one of four United States federal holidays to commemorate an individual person. King was the chief spokesman for nonviolent activism in the civil rights movement, which successfully protested racial discrimination in federal and state law. He was assassinated in 1968. At the White House Rose Garden on November 2, 1983, United States President Ronald Reagan signed a bill, proposed by Representative Katie Hall of Indiana, creating a federal holiday to honor King. It was observed for the first time on January 20, 1986. It was officially observed in all 50 states for the first time in 2000. You can find this and more information @ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Luther_King,_Jr._Day.. This is what is so interesting as you research things that you might have known and forgotten or never knew. Go to this sight and discover history like you never knew it or if you are like me, history that means more today than when I was younger.

Red Hatters had a luncheon last week @ Silver K. The Garden Club also had their meeting last week.

Do not forget the Foot Clinic will be here @ 304 S Ave F, Johnson City, Texas 78636 on January 21st, 2010 from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm. Bring a towel. This is sponsored by Texas Health Care Solutions. This is a great service that we all appreciate and anyone can come to it.
