Senior Idol Event 2011

I need to report it is fantastic to be part of this program of the "Senior Idol".  It's easy to see that the senior population still have talent.  Every year they top themselves.  To see all them perform on stage, then watch them walk off winners is very rewarding to me.

When I started this six years ago, I had no idea what affect it would have on me.  My experiences with all of the past singers through the contest has been humbling.  Each one touches my heart when they sing.  I can see in their faces that they are a star.  They each share from their soul and wonderful voices.

Thank you for teaching and sharing me.  Hopefully this program will last for many years to come.

Also, many thanks to our sponsors:

The Price Is Right

We have never had a group game so supported like THE PRICE IS RIGHT!  The enthusiasm of the group was on fire fun.  Our contestants won some good prizes.

Philo Searle was the first to get called out of the audience.

As the game progressed and the pricing made we had fun playing the games.  Adele King, Judy Brady and Tim Crowford did an excellent job running the game.

Thanks especially to Aldel King.  She was a wonder getting this put together.
