9:30 a.m. Movie: “The Help”
At the dawn of the civil rights movement, three Mississippi women are about to take
one extraordinary step. Twenty-two-year-old Skeeter has just returned home after
graduating from Ole Miss and her mother won't be happy till she finds a husband. Aibileen, a
wise African-American maid and caretaker suffers after the loss of her own child. And
Minny, Aibileen's sassy best friend, struggles to find and hold a job. Seemingly as different
from one another as can be, these women will nonetheless come together for a clandestine
project that will put them all at risk.
Young & Energetic At Heart Senior Ministries is offered through an active “Young and Energetic at Heart” (YEAH) group which meets monthly for fun activities, as well as four day trips each year.

Swimming free, a young dolphin is caught in a crab trap, severely damaging her tail.
She is rescued and transported to the Clearwater Marine Hospital, where she is named
Winter. But her fight for survival has just begun. Without a tail, Winter's prognosis is dire. It
will take the expertise of a dedicated marine biologist, the ingenuity of a brilliant prosthetics
doctor, and the unwavering devotion of a young boy to bring about a groundbreaking
miracle -- a miracle that might not only save Winter but could also help scores of people
around the world. The real Winter, who plays herself in "Dolphin Tale," today serves as a
symbol of courage, perseverance and hope to millions of people -- both able and disabled --
who have been touched by her remarkable story of recovery and rehabilitation.
