Monthly singing set

BUNKER HILL, Mo.

- There’s a time change for the winter monthly singings at Bunker Hill. We will be meeting at 6 p.m. Saturday, March 6, in the new community building next to the old school house.

It will be warmer and more convenient during the winter months. A regular group of musicians will come to perform a variety of music. Anyone in the audience can also participate in the singing or bring along an instrument to play.

Bring a potluck dessert, finger foods or a big pot of chili or soup for all to enjoy. There’s always coffee, tea and sodas to drink. Just bring your favorite things to share with others in attendance and come on over for a fun night of entertainment.

There is no charge, but donations are accepted to help defray the costs of electricity and heat.

The Bunker Hill Community Club is busy quilting for ladies in the area, working on items for the next quilt show in May, and planning our next lunch on the square which will be March 29.
