Monday mornings at Pottawatomie: the ladies play golf, the men play golf, and every now and then, our paths cross—usually just long enough for a friendly wave and a hearty “Fore!” ⛳️

We had a busy week of cards and dice! Dee hosted Scorekeepers Mexican Train, Glenna hosted Liverpool Rummy, and Mark hosted the guys for a fun night of dice. As you can see, our fearless leader, Trent, lost the most at dice and earned the coveted Snail Trophy (?)🐌🎲
Lots of laughs, friendly competition, and another fun week with FVNN!

A big thank you to Renee for organizing another wonderful Going Places event! On Sunday, many of us gathered at Chi-Cuterie for an afternoon filled with great friendship, delicious food and drinks, and, of course, the wonderful music of Matt Nanke. It was a perfect way to spend the day!

Our final luncheon of the season was a wonderful celebration of friendship, service, and gratitude. Trent welcomed our new board members and thanked those who are retiring for their dedication and leadership.

We were also proud to present a check to Family Counseling Services in support of the important work they do in our community.

It was truly a great day filled with good food, good friends, and great memories!

Great day at Kennay Farms Distilling! 🥃
We enjoyed a fantastic bourbon tasting, followed by a warm welcome from Rochelle Mayor John Bearrows.
After lunch, we even had some unexpected entertainment—a groundhog made a surprise appearance out on the patio!

Good company, great spirits, and a little bit of Midwest charm to top it all off.
