Daily Updates	ADDITIONAL PHOTOS/INFORMATION NOAC's nonagenarians: Six people answered the call for those attending NOAC who were 90 or over this year. Pictured from left are Eula Fyock, Pauline Thompson, Emmert Gibble, Annie Heisey, Ralph Heisey, and Ruby Witter. Witter, at 95, is the oldest; Annie Heisey just turned 90. Four of the six live in Pennsylvania. Arvetta Waybright of Weyers Cave, Va., fed some of the many tame geese and duck around the assembly's campus on Tuesday. An afternoon "antiphonal vespers" service had three groups singing and reading scripture to each other around the lake. Two groups stood at lake's edge, and one went out on the water in a pontoon boat. Millie Rodolosi of Livonia, Mich., and LaDean Dick of Fort Wayne, Ind., tried their hand at watercolor painting in a craft session led by Don Parker of West Salem, Ohio.

Excerpts from Tuesday's NOAC Notes (edited by Fred Swartz): A barren tree has been chosen as the visual point for the appeal this week for offerings to assist the Association of Brethren Caregivers with its ministries. The tree, "constructed" by Lester Kesselring, a NOAC Planning Committee member, is located in the kiosk area of Stuart Auditorium. As offerings are given throughout the week, the tree will become "fresh and green, still bearing fruit." In addition to the offerings taken at worship and general session times, there are watering cans placed at the tree in which persons can place donations to ABC. Monday night's worship service offering was $1,924.31. **** Dr. Franklin Cassel, who is leading an Alzheimer's Support Group at NOAC Wednesday and Thursday, plans to be in Washington, D.C., next week to present a petition for more governmental funding for Alzheimer's research. The petition is in the information area of Harrell Center for all those who wish to share in the appeal.
