We Are Community...

I have nothing against sports. Loved the Yankees and the Dodgers when I was growing up. Think I attended most of the basketball games while at WIU but that might have had more to do with Dick Redlinger-but I digress. Saturday, I came in at 5:30 to watch the world news. No world news-sports on every network. 10:00 pm, I turned on TV to watch local news-sports on every network. The point being though people enjoy sports and though they have their place in our world our whole evenings programming should not just be sports. I also want to know what is happening in our world. Rant over.

Thanks to all who came to our Bazaar. It was deeply appreciated. Please remember the PCCC when you need to host a gathering. Call 309 333 7778 for reservations.

The Colchester Historic Society met on Monday evening.

Cheryl Douglas spoke on St. Francis Hospital which was once in Macomb. Very interesting. She also mentioned that big things will be happening at the Colchester Brick Yard. Good news.

The Antiques and Collectibles Club met at the Macomb city hall on Wednesday evening at 7:00 pm. Good meeting. All are invited to attend and the topics are always interesting. This month it was show and tell. I took a Victorian hair wreath and a hair bracelet. Find Victorian hair things both lovely and fascinating. Please feel free to join us in January on the 3rd Wednesday of the month.
