The Parsons Center celebrated Valentine’s Day on Thursday, February 15, 2024. The program began with a reading by Arlene Ramsey titled “Valentine Glow.” The Goldenaires choir sang “He Loves Me”. Next Linda Bonner read “Artistry”. The choir then sang “Because He Loved Me.”
The February birthdays, Collin Sutton, Jean Morrison, and Tim Turner were honored by the group singing “Happy Birthday”.
The big event of the day, the crowning of King and Queen of Valentines, was next. The King and Queen of Valentines for 2024 are Jim and Meg Buddingh. They were very surprised. The King and Queen from 2023 crowned them as the group gave a great round of applause. Tim Turner, the Director, presented the King and Queen with gifts before reading a short story about getting older.
