The purpose of Salem's Golden Agers is to serve and fellowship with our ecumenical community. We begin our monthly meetings by reciting Psalm 118:24 — "This is the day the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it."  It is a reminder for us to always be grateful for our daily blessings.

Salem's Golden Agers' Celebrate 50th Anniversary!

On Thursday, November 2, 2023 Salem's Golden Agers celebrated the groups founding at the monthly meeting.  Originally started in 1973 at the behest of Rev. Richard E. Blemaster the group quickly grew in popularity and members. 

Back then some of the younger members of the congregation helped coordinate the meetings and events but soon everything was being organized by the Golden Agers themselves.  It is interesting to note that some of those young helpers are currently Golden Agers at Salem. 

The 50^th celebration party included a delicious full course buffet with a special cake for dessert.  The group reminisced about past events, speakers, trips, and special members.  Hymns were sung by all and were accompanied on the piano by Nick Kempski.  Everyone present seemed to enjoy the celebration!

Special thanks to the Golden Agers' Co-Coordinators Lois Doll and Paul Thomas for organizing this event.
