Lucy Report
From Bernie: Took Lucy home with me for the holidays to spare her the loneliness of the library. She was quiet on the ride. Got home, hissed at all my cats and hid by the dryer. I dragged her out, kicking and screaming. She’s now camping under my bed. I tried to comfort her but she charged at me hissing, growling & claws out. Her litter pan and food close by. It’s only the 1st night. It will get better.
Barb is retiring
Today will be Barb’s last day working at the Pember.  Stop in and wish her well on her second retirement! She plans to travel some and relax and, of course, read. She will still be teaching the ‘Computers for Seniors’ classes and I’m sure she’ll stop in once in a while to replenish her supply of books. Best wishes to you Barb.
The Lucy Fund
Please help us to buy food and kitty litter for Lucy. There is a bank on the desk for people to put in spare change or bills if you can afford to help a little.
