Why is it, “A penny for your thoughts,” but, “you have to put your two cents in?” Somebody’s making a penny.
–Steven Wright
A quarter, dime and penny walk into a bar…
Just wait this joke is going to make a lot of cents.
So the penny is no longer being minted, and considering how expensive it is to mint a penny, that makes a lot of CENTS!
To honor of this significant CHANGE in our currency I thought I would create a quick crossword puzzle to include a few interesting facts about the penny.
This all reminds of an old Frank Sinatra song:
This seems like a good transition to mention to everyone that we are looking to move Lost and Found Pharmacy into a permanent location here in Penn Hills. In order to achieve this, we are going to be attempting a number of fundraising activities. One that we would like to start off suggesting is that people consider donating their change. You don’t even need to roll it.
We will be publishing a calendar of events soon that will include a number of our fundraising activities.
Let’s look at what else we have coming up in the not too distant future:
- Tuesday, March 18th, 7PM – 8:30PM, Bible Study ~ We are studying Revelation. Five months in, we’ve made it to chapter 9, feel free to join our group to be a part of this study.
- Wednesday, March 19th, 5PM – 7:30PM, Wicked, Part 1 ~ This great re-telling of a classic puts a whole new spin on what we though we knew about the Land of Oz.
- Friday, March 7th, 6:30ish – 9ish, Board Game Night ~ This has long been a tradition to come in on a Friday and have fun playing games. Join us every Friday and learn a large range of games.
- Saturday, March 8th, 1PM – 3PM, Tech Help ~ We are a handful of tech heads that like technology and would like to help you with your stuff. We can help with cell phone, tablet, and computer problems/questions. We can talk with you about the latest tech like streaming TV, home security, cyber security, etc. This is all done for free, you just need to come in and ask for help.
- Saturday, March 8th, 7PM – 8:30PM, Bereans Group ~ This group, which is open to the public, we always discuss tough theological questions and rarely come to consensus. This time we are discussing ‘Do pets have souls’.
- Thursday, April 3rd, 5:15PM, Book Club ~ This meeting they are discussing the novel, The Hiding Place, by Corrie Ten Boom. It is the true story of a Dutch family that got hiding Jews during World War II and were sent to a concentration camp.
- Saturday, May 3rd, 11AM – 12noon, LEGO Contest ~ We will be having a great time creating various LEGO structures.
Now for the part everyone always asks about, the food! Our current soup is a corn chowder, our current sandwich is a tuna melt, and our specialty ice creams are currently Coffee House Cookies n Creme and Dark Chocolate Raspberry Truffle. Also, while it lasts, our current stuffed shake is our thin mint shake.
Thanks and God bless,
Sean
