The Omega Chapter sorority sisters wishes you a very Happy 90th Birthday and may you have many more returns of the day!

Sorority Sisters Night Out

We held our last Omega Chapter meeting at the Main Street Market Cafe which is nestled in the oldest neighborhood in Vicksburg.  The 1840 building with brick floors has a collection of odd and end tables and chairs adding to the unique atmosphere. It's own by a family, the Mother, Betty, daughter, Sally and son-in-law, Chris, who is the star of the show cooking up mouth watering meals to enjoy with a southern twist.  The menu changes daily to keep things interesting.  Chris also serves up creative Cajun cooking as well. 

Sally welcomed all of us with her southern charm and we all enjoyed a delicious meal together until we all meet again in September.  Wishing all Sorority Sisters a very Happy Summer!

Meeting & Silent Auction Fun

Our sorority meeting with a silent auction was held last night at the Senior Center at the corner of Walnut and South Streets.  Hostesses were Jane Loboda, Pat Tinney and Louise Herrod.  The food and desserts prepared was delicious with tea, coffee and soda.  The Good Shepherd Community Center was the Philanthropic.

Looks like my sister, Laura was having such a good time bidding on a lot of gifts and making off like a bandit.  Like $40.00 worth!

Everyone had a great time visiting and we voted to go to the Main Street Market Cafe for our last meeting of our year. Looking forward to being there next month on May 6th. Hope to see you there!

Up Date

Please continue to pray for Tom, Pat Tinney's husband, who is recovering from a fall at their home. He is still in ICU but off the ventilator and getting round-the-clock rehab at the UMC.  

Also, my daughter, Theresa, who also fell and fractured her ribs is now suffering from pleurisy and pneumonia. She will be seeing the Doctor today for a followup.  

Prayers

A message was received this past Friday about Pat Tinney's husband,Tom, who is in critical care at UMC and will be for a few more days.  He is on a ventilator as his oxygen level was not where it needed to be.  It was put in while being transported and will remain for another day or two. He has 9 breaks in ribs on one side, some hairline breaks on lower, outer area of spine, a large gash on his forehead, and one under one eye with damage to that bone. No surgery is required though.  He has a small amount of blood on the brain that will heal itself.  He is totally sedated with and tied down as he has pulled out IV's and becomes extremely restless.  Pat feels that he may be moved to a regular room in a few days.  She sounded positive.  He fell when a ladder broke.  He had the ladder and scaffolding tied down.  Per Cathey Lee.  Please keep Tom and Pat in your prayers at this time. 

Prayers for my 51 years old daughter, Theresa (Teri) who fell in her home last week and has fractured her ribs. She has been falling down inside/outside her home since last November. She has been diagnosed with myositis, fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis, lung problems and other health issues.  She also had one of her kidneys removed a few years ago that was diseased and now she is on disability.  If you will please keep her in your prayers as well since she is in a lot of pain right now from her fall. ~ Marian
