EXCEPTIONAL SENIORS
As retirees, we may be busier now than we were
as full-time educators. We have entered the stage
of grandparenting and keep our grands a couple
of days a week. Rashell sings with the Sweet
Adelines’ Pride of West Texas Show Chorus and
the Lubbock Chorale. She is also involved with the
women’s ministry at Monterey Church of Christ. I
have picked up several volunteer gigs around
Lubbock. I volunteer with Friends of the Library
sorting books at the donation sheds in town, work • HISTORIC •
at FOL’s monthly bookstore at Mahon Library, and Cactus Theater
serve as one of the vice-presidents. I am a member
of the Lubbock Master Gardener Association, help 1812 Buddy Holly Ave • CactusTheater.com
organize the annual Hub City Garden Tour, and
serve as the membership/certification coordinator. UPCOMING SHOWS!
