Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

Valentine’s Day is coming up on Feb. 14. Be sure to tell all those you love how much they mean to you. Here’s a few Valentine jokes that I thought were cute and okay for all to read:
• What did the stamp say to the envelope on Valentine’s Day? “I’m stuck on you!”
• Why did the boy bring a broom to his Valentine’s Day date? “Because he wanted to sweep her off her feet!”
• What is Cupid’s favorite band? “Kiss!”
• Who always has a date on Valentine’s Day? “A calendar!”
• Why did the man have his girlfriend put in jail? “Because she stole his heart.”
Birthday wishes to: Bud Reeves on Feb. 15; Steven Dyson on Feb. 16; Chris Reeves on Feb. 19; and Norman Spry on Feb. 20. Happy anniversary to Kent and Crystal Reed on Feb. 15. If you would like a birthday or anniversary listed in this column, please let me know.

Proceeds will go toward upgrading the kitchen area. If there is a good turnout, then hopefully we can continue the bingo fundraisers.
