Pangman

We would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!

We would like to thank all those who submitted photos and stories for us to post on the website.

The Pangman Community Christmas Sing-along was held Saturday, December 12th at the Abundant Living Church. About 40 people attended in spite of an extremely chilly night.

Connie Lozinsky was the MC and various members of the community contributed to the musical evening with their guitars, drums, piano and voice selections. As well, the children delighted the audience with various Christmas riddles.

A pot luck lunch of Christmas goodies were enjoyed by all who attended.

Many thanks to all who participated, provided lunch, coffee and hot chocolate. A special thank you to Pastor Gary Penner for letting us use the Abundant Living Church for the evening.

We had our Christmas Supper and book club meeting at Kathy’s Place on December 8th, 2009. For supper we had Turkey and all the trimmings plus delicious desserts.

After we had supper, we discussed our November book club selection, Where the Heart is by Billie Letts. Everyone enjoyed this book and we all thought it was an easy read and a great story.

This is the story of Novalee Nation, who at age 17, and 7 months pregnant was dropped off at the Wal-mart in Sequoyah, Oklahoma with only $7.77 in change, by her boyfriend, Willy Jack Pickens.

Novalee meets 3 people her first day at the Wal-mart store, who later are there for her when she is in need and become her best friends. At the town library she meets the town librarian, Forney Hull, who introduces Novalee to the world of books and becomes a very important person in her and her child’s live.

After our meeting we exchanged gifts.

In December we will be reading This Year Will be Different by Maeve Binchy.
