First Friends came
to order at the home of Delores Toon, who was our hostess for May
along with Polly Dunlap. We acknowledged our May birthdays and had
our announcements and news. There are still a few Lake Cherokee
First Friends Cookbooks available, at $10.00 a piece you can’t go
wrong. Contact Carolyn Matter at 903-643-3969, she’ll be happy to
sell you one or two. We also discussed what to do with the extra
money that was accumulated from the sale of the cookbooks, as in
dividing it among a number of charities, your input would be
appreciated. Please call Carolyn Matter, or Carol Staiti
903-643-8384 with your suggestions.

Wilena Grigsby
Our speaker this
month was a close friend of Delores’, Wilena Grigsby, who has
property on the lake not far from the Toon’s. Wilena was born in
Troop and has lived in Longview and Dallas, her husband is a
dentist. She shared with us a few funny stories from her past and
sang songs for us from Patsy Cline, Ann Murray, Karen Carpenter,
Patty Page and Helen Reddy. Thank you so much Wilena. First Friends
will be taking off the summer, but will return September 16th,
when Joann McCranie, Elaine Pinkerton and Dorothy Blackwell will be
our hostesses. We hope to see you there.
