Seven Mile* Beach ^ —

(From Page 48) night when we learn who has been chosen Senior Citizen of the Year. All suspense was lifted when Pres. Jim Fisher announced that the winner had founded the Keeping in Touch organization in 1962. This group, commonly known as KIT, with the cooperation of clergy, police, hospitals and nursing homes, has proven a decided adjunct to the community since Its inception. Its purpose has been to see that the invalided, the housebound and those hungering for a visitor from the outside world are called on, by a member, to run errands, send mail or just chat so that they won't feel forgotten. Gracine McMenamy was the person who conceived the idea and spent days J contacting people and ^ agencies who w ould help in the effort, so it^ame as a surprise to only a few that she is Senior Citizen of the Year 1984. It is richly deserved PRINCIPAL speakers for the evening were two representatives from the Wetlands Institute: Dr. Penny Bernstein, a staff member and biologist who received her training at the U. of Penn. and is studying animal behavior and communications, and Peg Sinclair, winner of the National Award of the Discover America Travel Organization for 1977. Trained in journalism she has managed or handled at least 16 festivals including those in Charlottesville, Richmond, Alexandria and Norfolk, Va. She acted as consultant to the Wings 'n Water Festival Benefit for the Wetlands last year and will donate her talents in the

same capacity this Sept. 15 < and 16. | This year it will be co- ( chaired by Romona CMrs Robert) Wilson and Ellie (Mrs. Eugene Spitz. It is operated soley by i volunteers and-will require the efforts of a least 200 to I make this massive-scale event a success. Commit I tees have been working weekly since January on logistics. The Festival promotes best off-season tourism, it is world Class in decorative bird carvings and received two-page coverage in the New York Times last year, which proves the esteem it commands nationally. More than 30 businesses contributed fianncially to the first one and it is hoped that more businesses and private citizens will help by giving time or money to expand this year's spectacular exhibition. LAST WEEK we went t«\ a lovely dinner party, just the size to talk to and get to know people. Don and Virginia Sheneman were there and we had met them only briefly before. They retired to live here permanently and Don. fearing boredom, bought the Exxon Station at 9404 3rd Ave. He took possession the week of the March 29 storm and most guys would have thrown the towel in then and there, but Don has plenty of background in the business and took it in his stride. As always, it was another small world night Don, Virginia and this columnist all had spent much of our time in Germantown and misspent our evenings in the same night clubs in Phila. You can't beat great shared memories for fun. lest news of all is that Don intends to keep the Exxon

Center open Sundays and lowered the price of gas The S. H. Lions Club held its charter meeting (installation of officers) at the Whitebrier Inn May 16 Emcee for the Lions and their wives' big evening was Jim Shevlin.
