Women's club members celebrate with cookie feast

Members of Newberry Women's Club gathered Tuesday  for the monthly business meeting, and a cookie feast prepared by hostesses Jill Hutchinson and Cheryl Withrow.

Ladies enjoyed sugar, mint, gingerbread, cherry-Rice Krispie, M&M and Almond Joy cookies along with Surprise Candy, bourbon balls and Grandma's Snickers. There was also a relish tray with assorted pickles, cheeses and crackers. Beverage offerings included fresh-brewed coffee and assorted black and herbal teas.

The meeting and social hour took place in the most beautiful venue in the village of Newberry, the gaily decorated Villemure Dining Room in the Chippewa-Luce-Mackinac Community Action Agency building in downtown Newberry.

Members of the local club extend a special thank you to Marie Nicholson, Ruth Wippert and other staff members for their assistance in making this special event a success.

Car club rolls through Newberry

A-h-h-h the joys of living on Newberry Avenue. 

Yesterday a group of folks from West Branch drove through town and I had the amazing luck to be mowing the yard when they did. 

Fortunately they stopped at Pickleman's Petro to refuel and stopped across the street from our house to wait for one another. They are so very cool - especially the Mustang convertible, which was my favorite. Here you'll find photographs of all the cars that members of Rods and Relics car club drove in their U.P cruise. Enjoy!
