Central Insurance retirees and guests met on April 29, for their monthly luncheon at Pizza Hut in Van Wert. The group settled in with their favorite buffet choices and spent the afternoon catching up, sharing stories, and enjoying an easygoing meal together.

This month’s attendees included (bottom row, left to right): Patty Kiehl, Sue Karst, Paula Giessler, Vivian Langhals, Dorothy Helmke, Kay Sluterbeck, and Grace Haselman. Back row, left to right: Doug Watson, Val Sluterbeck, Deb Boroff, Chuck White, Ruth Ricker, Loren Shindeldecker, Sharon Baer, Terry Knebel, and Dewaine Johnson.

The conversation was lively, the laughter came naturally, and a few stayed afterward for some friendly card games.

Chuck White will be giving a presentation titled “Why You Should Own an Electric Car.” All Central retirees and their guests are invited to join in for good food, good company, and another enjoyable afternoon together.
