Happy 100 Birthday, Ms. Elizabeth Middleton Hicks.
What a beautiful day for the drive by celebration for Ms. Elizabeth Middleton Hicks. She was born on November 20, 1920 in Warsaw, North Carolina. Ms. Elizabeth was married to John Hicks in 1936 and to this union two children were born. Ms. Hicks moved to New York in 1937. Her career began as a Dietitian in 1947, and she retired from St. Claire Hospital in 1985.
Prior to the covid crisis, Ms. Hicks participated at the Wallace Congregate Nutrition site daily. She never missed any of the arthritis exercise classes held at the center. She told us today, "I felt like a celebrity, it was a wonderful experience and I enjoyed all of the beautiful people that came by to celebrate with me".
Happy Thursday! Another brisk morning with the arthritis exercise class at the Kenansville location. We are extremely thankful for the opportunity to use space at the Duplin County Events Center for the classes.
A little brisk this morning exercising with this group. We relocated to be more in the sun and blocked from the wind. They warmed up quickly and were ready for the rest of their day. Just in case you are wondering, these were two of the eight participants in the class "smiling" behind their masks.

Good Monday morning from the senior center. We hope you are able to enjoy some sunshine outside today.

We are so excited and thankful for those that have donated so far, we are at $518.00 (with one donation not showing and in the mail). We realize times are tough for everyone, and CAREGIVERS know all about that feeling. We welcome the donations to continue to come and today starts the week of reaching our goals together. The agency will share more information this week and recognize the donors at the end of the week. Again, thank you all for letting the Caregivers and their Loved Ones know they are supported in Duplin County!
Thank you for supporting our team!
Happy Friday! A cup of coffee and a donut sounds great today or any day.
Happy National Donut Day! Today is actually the second day in the year set aside to recognize the love of donuts. The first Donut Day celebration is held in June. That holiday was established by the Salvation Army way back in 1938 to honor volunteers who made donuts for soldiers as a way to boost morale. We’re not sure why donuts are recognized again in November. But who really cares? True donut lovers never need a reason to enjoy a good donut.
