Greenport News: An evening with a psychic medium
Now that February is almost behind us and spring just a little more than three weeks away, I’d like to thank all our highway departments — state, county, town and village — for the exemplary job you all did in keeping our roads cleared this winter. The hours and hard work you put in have not gone unnoticed or unappreciated.
The F.I.N. (Families In Need) program will sponsor a soup and sandwich luncheon at Clinton Memorial AME Zion Church on Saturday, Feb. 28, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Donations are $6 per person, and the soup choices will be vegetarian, chicken or beef.
The Greenport Teachers’ Association will host an evening with psychic medium Josephine Ghiringhelli on Friday, March 13, at 7 p.m. at the Soundview Restaurant. A chinese auction and 50/50 raffle will also be held, and light fare will be offered. Tickets, $40 per person, can be purchased from any Greenport teacher.
GHS Drama Club members are in high gear, readying themselves for this year’s musical, “Once Upon a Mattress.” Performances will take place March 5, 6 and 7 at 7 p.m. in the school auditorium.
I was quite reserved when the Duke Blue Devils beat the then undefeated Virginia Cavaliers in college hoops, and again when they beat Notre Dame by 30. However, when Duke beats UNC (as they did in overtime last week), all bets are off! So to Lou Swain, Matt Swain, Ron Rock, Crystal Rock and Meghan Caffery Philipps (all diehard Tar Heel fans) see you again on March 7, with, hopefully, the same results!
Charlotte and Bob Wissmann have both worked at the carousel for 20 years. On Feb. 23 the couple celebrated their 63rd wedding anniversary. Happy anniversary, Mr. and Mrs. Wissmann, and many, many more to you.
