Ryder News for April 2, 2015
The men of St. John’s Lutheran Church in Ryder served up a delicious Palm Sunday Dinner. It’s hard to believe that some men can actually cook! They served ham, scalloped potatoes, corn, coleslaw, pickles, buns, and ice cream. There were people there from Garrison, Douglas, Makoti, Roseglen, Minot as well as lots from Ryder. All in all, there was a fantastic turnout for this event serving 102 people and running out of food right at the end!

Since moving into the other house, John and Jan found lots of things to return to each of the girls from girls scout sashes, high school sports trophies, music awards, pins, cheerleading jackets, discus, prom trinkets and of course lots of pictures. The grandkids joined in “In who's that? and really Mom look at that hair!” Good times and laughs. The grandkids showed off their gymnastic abilities, singing voices and even Miss Mabel (2 1/2) showed her dance moves from a few Michael Jackson songs. The time together was short but they all enjoyed seeing each other as a group. Summer gets too busy so this turned out to be a perfect weekend.
The Plaza Senior Center invited Makoti seniors to a housewarming to celebrate the refurbishment of Plaza's center. There was a really nice roast beef dinner, games, cards, and a pool table that got much use the entire afternoon. Several people from Makoti went over and had a great time, visiting with friends, old and new. The Makoti seniors appreciated very much the invite and fun time they had that day.
Remember, there will be NO BINGO the month of April at the Ryder Gym.
