St. Patty’s Day Party Mardi Gras Party
St. Patrick’s Day is on Sunday, March 17, and since
we already have our activities scheduled for that Friday
we will celebrate St. Patty’s Day a ‘wee’ early.
We will be decked out in our green attire and
change our last name to O’…. My name will be Patrice
O’Melton. That way we will ALL be Irish, at least for a
little while. We will play Irish games, some LUCKY bingo
and finish the day with some Irish dancing, music and
food.
Throughout the week, we will be doing some other
Irish activities such as taking a trip to Ireland, making
an Irish craft, and playing a few Irish games.
Watch the calendar for a fun-filled week of going
GREEN! Mardi Gras, also known as “Fat Tuesday,”
occurs every year, the day before the
Christian holiday of Ash Wednesday which is
the official beginning of the season of Lent.
We will be celebrating Mardi Gras by
making decorations, cooking festive treats,
crafting masks and beads and partying,
almost like they do in New Orleans. We are
even going to have a pancake race and pa-
rade up and down the hallways in our Mardi
Gras attire.
Come on out on Tuesday, March 5 to
enjoy a fun-filled day of activities and
celebration.

out to the side.
We would like to congratulate Herb and Claudia Mallard
on their 70th Wedding anniversary which will occur on
March 19.
Herb and Claudia were childhood sweethearts and sat
together on the school bus. In 1942, Claudia’s family
moved to California. Herb’s sister and Claudia were best of
friends and they wrote letters back and forth for many
years.
Herb went into the Marines after high school and was
stationed in California. He decided to look up his old friend
and it was love at first sight.
They were married at a Nazarene church in 1949. The
couple have two beautiful children, Steve who resides in
Fair Grove and Cheryl, who lives in Buffalo.
We will be celebrating their anniversary, but the date has
not been set, so stay tuned to our Facebook page for
further information.
