Breakfast will be served April 19 at Wesley Chapel United Methodiist Church. Members will begin serving at 6:30 and serve until 10 a.m. with country ham, sausage, scrambled eggs, grits, red-eye gravy, sawmill gravy, homemade biscuits, baked apples, jelly, orange juice and coffee. There is no set price, but donations are appreciated. Wesley Chapel is three miles west of Farmington just off of NC 801 N. on Pino Road. We hope you will come, have breakfast, and spend time visiting with friends, old and new.
Part of the proceeds will go to support he Wesley Chapel Women of Faith’s Knit A Square. Members are knitting squares which are sent to South Africa to be put together by mothers, grandmothers, and others to make blankets, or coats for children. The money is needed for shipping which is expensive.
This great-grandmother is excited to announce the birth of a new great-granddaughter, Oakley Ann Michalski, daughter of David and Missy Cujas Michalski, on March 3, 2025. Oakley and her parents are at home in their new apartment in Cana. Oakley is a beautiful baby and she is making her father’s and her mother’s families happy with her smiles. Oakley is the sixth great-grandchild of this old great-grandmother.
The Cujas family of Cana spent the weekend at Linville Caverns to celebrate the birthdays of Susan, Al, Missy, and Oakley. The Cujas family from Cana was joined at Linville by the other Cujas daughter, Amy Cujas Applegate, and her husband, Ryan Applegate from Charlotte. The family had a delightful time, but Susan said she will not go into a cavern again. My sentiments exactly.
Lonnie Gray West of the Pino community hurt his leg badly and is recuperating at home. The people of Pino wish speedy healing to Lonnie who likes to be active.
The whole Pino community is saddened by the death of one of its active members, Janice James Miller. We, the members of the community, want Janice’s family to know that they have our deepest sympathy.
