My name is Marilyn Kylmala and I would like to take a few minutes of your time to tell you more about our senior group “Rambling Roses” here at St. Therese. We are a group of seniors 55 and older (married and single) who meet the first Thursday of the month (except December) in the Sutherland Social Hall at St. Therese of Lisieux. We usually meet from 9:30am to 11:00 am for our meetings. Usually following the Rambling Rose meeting, there is a Lunch and Learn educational lecture with speakers presented by the St. Therese of Lisieux Health Ministry from 11:00 am to 12:00 pm for those members who would like to stay.
Soon we will be planning themes each month with a fun activity. We have a brief business meeting with complimentary coffee, tea and donuts or bagels. We have several social activities such as a Pizza party, ice cream social and indoor picnic. We also have an organized card/game party twice a year following our meeting. We would like to get more members to travel so we can possibly have a bus pick up at our Church but we do offer flyers from St. Kiernan and the local senior centers. The annual fee is $15.00 per year.
Spiritually we collect needed items for St. Vincent de Paul and Sister Judie’s Outreach. We also collect money for St. Jude’s Research Hospital and Sister Judie at our Christmas party and sponsor a family at Christmas.
We gladly welcome new members and you may come to any of our meetings to see what we are about. Please feel free to call me if you have any questions at 586-850-5925 or e-mail me at mwkylmala@gmail.com.
Marilyn Kylmala, President
