Up and Going‘s Trip to Newberry

Sixteen members and guests of the Up and Going gathered in the Fellowship Hall on Thursday, Oct 20, 2022 at 9AM for the October Meeting. Devotions were given by Helen and the business session followed. At 9:30 AM, we departed for our visit to The Newberry Museum. We were warmly greeted and welcomed by our tour guides, Mr. Steven Knapp and Ms. Denise Reid. The Museum’s special exhibit was “Celebrating the 100th Homecoming Anniversary at Newberry College”. We were amazed at the important history of Newberry College and it’s importance to the Lutheran Church. Our guides were so informed and presented the facts with such expertise that you didn’t want to miss not one word. They were wonderful guides.

As we exited the Museum, the weather was fabulous, so we decided to walk to the restaurant, “The Grill on Main” for lunch. The food was delicious. We enjoyed chatting and visiting during our lunch time. Next, a leisurely stroll up and down Main Street as we reminisced about the changes on Main Street and the enjoyment of shopping there over the years. Time to head home. This day trip was so much fun and a real learning experience. Visit The Newberry Museum at 1300 Friendly Street if you possibly can. It is well worth your time.

Our next meeting is Thursday, Nov 17th, (the 3rd Thursday) in the Fellowship Hall at 11:00am. We are having an “Old Fashioned Thanksgiving” so, bring a covered dish or dessert from your Mama or Grand[1]mama’s Receipts. The turkey will be provided. A signup sheet will be posted. Please bring 3 cans of food for We Care. Mark your calendar, our December Christmas Party is scheduled for December 1st (1st THURSDAY) 11am in the Fellowship Hall.
