February 2012

The Central Ohio Area Agency on Aging, COAAA, is currently seeking nominees for the 2012 Central Ohio Senior Citizens Hall of Fame. The next induction ceremony and reception will be held on Wednesday, May 16, in Columbus. Inductees receive a lapel pin, a framed portrait from a professional photographer, and a personal recognition on stage from county commissioners, followed by a catered reception with family and friends.

We have nominated or helped nominate three people from Madison County for the Hall of Fame: Paul Carpenter, our former delivery driver and good friend (2001); Richard “The Captain” Murray, Christmas decorator extraordinaire and husband to Ann, who worked for the drugstore until this past May (2005); and Mary Mitchell, a lady who can do just about anything she sets her mind to (2008).

If you know someone who is over the age of 60 and has made significant contributions to their community, COAAA wants to know about them. Any individual or organization may nominate a resident of Delaware, Fairfield, Fayette, Franklin, Licking, Madison, Pickaway, or Union County. The person must be 60 years of age or older and a legal resident of Ohio for the past five years. A married couple can also be nominated if they are both equally involved in the same activities and both meet the eligibility requirements.

You can request a nomination form by contacting the Hall of Fame Coordinator for COAAA, at 614-645-7250 or 1-800-589-7277 or by emailing coaaa@coaaa.org. You can also download an application from the COAAA’s web site HERE.

The Deadline for nominations is February 20, 2012 (it has been extended from the original February 1 deadline).

Eldchrist Winery (8189 State Route 736) will have their weekly Ladies night on Thursday, January 12, from 6-9 pm. This Ladies night will feature Lia Sophia jewelry and our good friend from cat rescue, Olivia Brininger. Olivia has donated to Black and Orange Cat Foundation before with special Lia Sophia events just for the kitties.

I want to encourage everyone to go out and support Olivia just like she has always supported Black and Orange–with not only donations, but by adopting kitties from the group, as well!! You won’t find prettier jewelry at more affordable prices anywhere.

Besides the Lia Sophia jewelry, a consultant from The Pampered Chef will also be at the Winery.

Olivia promises lots of great deals, including a drawing for FREE jewelry. For the month of January, she is also offering a “Reverse Customer Save Plan”—buy one item at regular price and then choose two more expensive items to receive at half off! Additionally, there will be pieces that are retiring at the end of January which you can buy at fabulous prices.

Please join Olivia and Eldchrist Winery for a night of wine, jewelry, and tons of fun!

We want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah, and a day filled with lovely holiday memories. May this holiday be peaceful and overflowing with blessings.

Plain City Druggist will be open normal hours, 9 am to noon, on Saturday, Christmas Eve. We will be closed on Sunday, Christmas, but will re-open Monday, December 26 at 9 am. If you have an emergency, please call Joe’s pager at 614-240-8421.

Thank you for all of your support in 2011. We promise to do our best for you in 2012.

 

Thank you to the Dlugo family for this cute photo of their kitties, Bernard and Malcome, who, by the way, were the featured cats for March in the Black and Orange Cat Foundation 2012 calendar!

We will have volunteers in the pharmacy on Thursday, December 22, and Friday, December 23, from 4-6 pm wrapping gifts for a donation to Black and Orange Cat Foundation. We will also be wrapping presents on Christmas Eve from 10 am-noon. Bring your gifts in or buy some in the store and we will wrap them for you for a donation to help spay and neuter area kitties!

We’ll provide the gift wrap (you can choose which you like best), the bows, and even a box if you need one. All you have to do is provide the gift! We have professional wrappers on site (namely, my mom, Roberta Timmons, who has been wrapping gifts for Santa for years). Please stop in and let us help make your season a bit easier by wrapping your presents.

This is especially good for those guys out there who always have their wives, girlfriends, mothers, or sisters take care of their gift wrapping (Joe, keep that in mind–oh, but wait, Mom usually wraps gifts for you anyway!). Get your sweetie’s present wrapped and make it look good (you can even pretend you did it yourself–we won’t tell).
