Bananas, The Wonder Fruit

Bananas contain three natural sugars – Sucrose, Fructose and Glucose combined with fiber. You may already be aware that research has proven that they provide a boost of energy. But are you aware of some of the illnesses and conditions that they help to overcome or prevent?

Some of the conditions they help to alleviate are: Depression, Anemia, Blood Pressure, Hangovers (a banana milkshake sweetened with honey calms the stomach and builds up depleted blood sugar levels), Mosquito bites (Many people have found that rubbing the affected area with the inside of a banana skin was amazingly successful at reducing swelling and irritation).

 
Hillbilly Auction – April 10

It’s that time of year again. Spring cleaning time! A time to gather up all those things that have been in the way and gathering dust. Set them aside to bring to the spring Hillbilly Auction on April 10.

You will not only be freeing up some storage space, but in the process will help out the Uncle Ikes program. The Hillbilly auctions are the primary source of funding for this great program.

If you have nothing to bring, come anyway to have some fun and bid on some items of interest.
 

Door Prizes

Note: We are in need of door prizes for the weekly drawing. See Steve Roe, Program Chairman if you can donate an item.

Make sure you sign your dinner ticket to be eligible to win. You must be present to win.
