Program:  Dr. Randy Zeith and Bob Gray presented a very informative program on Macular Degeneration.  Bob has the condition and expressed from the patients view, what it means as a change in life style.  My good friend, since we were 14 years old, hasn’t lost his sense of humor.

                The causes of A.M.D. are not known.  Certain factors may increase the likelihood of  it developing.  These include smoking, farsighted ness, High B.P. obesity, and family history.

                                                        Thanks Bob & Randy for a fine program. 

Next Week :  Greeter  & Prayer –

                        Program:  Ed Ott of the local American Legion Post. 

Thought for today:

                Dear Lord – every morning I pray that I may live the way it pleases You, but too often I find my prayers to be mechanical and meaning less what I say with my lips, send down deep into my heart.  Amen.
