Several FCMC members were on hand Dec. 4 to help the New Albany Police Dept. shop with children for clothes, shoes, coats and toys for Christmas. This is a very worthy and rewarding cause to help with, if you did not get to help this year, hopefully you can next year.

FCMC was well represented to help escort Santa into Jeffersonville on Dec 1.  The parade traveled thru downtown Jeff ending at the courthouse for the town lighting. The streets were crowded with young and old to get a glimpse of Santa as he passed by making his way to the lighting ceremony. After the parade we had dinner in Jeff at the Come Back Inn Pub.

Then back to Community Park for our Welcome Bash. Later we headed to K-Mart for the cruise-in, a very busy but fun filled day.

Thanks to Mike and Vanessa for hosting their annual club picnic on Sunday June 10th. Grill master Mike whipped up some delicious burgers and dogs to go along with all the covered dishes everyone brought, (does anyone need any pies)? After everyone got their bellies full we played cornhole and sat in the shade chatting.

Congrats to our winners of the scavenger hunt clues.  Bill, Marcia, & Rachel Smith took home the first place award, Gary & Pam Bushau took home the Second place award, and Joe and Thelma Walters took home our third place award.  Congrats Everyone, I for one really enjoyed the day.  The Haypress demo was nothing short of AMAZING!!!!!!! IT is the ONLY WORKING Haypess in the United States, according to the staff onsite.  Got to see plenty of old weapons and got up close with a 5 year old steer (Oxen).  We saw plenty of 1800’s type life and the staff was so nice and answered nearly all my questions. Thanks to everyone there, made for a wonderful outing……………..David Henry
