The Goessel Senior Center finished Christmas activities with a van trip to Inman Dec. 22. The group ate at the Inman Senior Center and saw the live nativity in the park. On the way home, the group viewed another festival of lights north of McPherson. Marie Jantz, John Reimer, Esther Flaming, Linda Deasy, Martha Peters, Lois Janzen, Rosella Wedel, Elda Banman, Irma Schroeder and Willis and Ruth Ann Penner made the trip.
The New Year was celebrated Jan. 2 with a quiz of famous things that happened during various years and by remembering highlights of 2001.
The annual meeting was held Jan. 9.
On Jan. 10, the seniors took a van trip to Hutchinson. Those going were Ernest and Elma Goertz, Dannie and Alice Schmidt, Tony and Joan Epp, Ruth Brandt, Rosella Wedel, Emil Dirks, Esther Flaming, and Willis and Ruth Ann Penner. The group saw Antarctic Adventure at the Imax Theater and ate at Furrs Cafeteria.
The video As Young as Your Feet was shown on Jan. 16. The men played pool at Moundridge on Jan. 3 and won. They lost to Inman on Jan. 17.
