A Word from Charlene
Hello Friends,
July was a very busy month. My sister Joan came for a visit on June 17th. She was with us until July 24th.
We had a wonderful time catching up on the past. Joan had never seen Loretta in Concert or had never been her ranch in Hurricane Mills. When Joan found out that we were going to the ranch to see Loretta in concert she and she was going also she was thrilled. July 14 through 19 is circus week here in Peru IN. This is the world’s largest amateur circus and consists of children ages 5 to 21. The kids perform every night and twice on Saturday during circus week and are great performers. They start practicing in March. Sis got to attend the circus and the circus parade. We kept her busy the rest of the time our shows, which she really Enjoyed.
We are get ready to celebrate our 700th show which it will be at Miller’s Merry Manor in Logansport IN on
August 8th at 7:00 PM. We also have added another new facility Sterling House in Marion IN.
I have a lot of things I need catch up on so until next time.
Love and Prayers
Charlene

Facts and Thoughts of the ShowWe both grew up loving country music, Loretta Lynn, being our favorite female country artist. While working at a nursing home, I discovered how difficult it was for the Activities Department to offer the residents activities that they really enjoyed. So, we thought of a plan. I got a wig and put together a Loretta Lynn outfit, and put on a 20 minute show of Loretta’s music, the lyrics of which I lip-synced. The residents had so much fun and so did we! In March of 2003 I was asked to do our act at the Circus Hall of Fame Gala and Art Auction, an annual event in Peru Indiana. George, an amateur artist, donates drawings to be auctioned off to raise funds for this great organization. After the show I was approached by a staff member from a nursing home facility and asked to perform for their residents. Sounds of Loretta Lynn by Charlene was born on June 30, 2003, and on July 9, 2004 the 100 show was celebrated at
As long as the residents enjoy it and the Lord keeps us in good health we will continue with our shows. Here is a special note for everyone, take some time to visit your local nursing home, just walk down the hall and say hello, give the residents a smile or a hug and you will be surprised how it will warm your heart and make a very special day for someone and yourself.
