We hope everyone had a merry Christmas and will have a happy New Year.

The center and activities resume Dec. 26 with Bingo after the noon meal.

The birthday dinner is scheduled Monday, Dec. 31.

Also remember the center is closed Tuesday, Jan. 1, for New Year’s.

Volunteers continue to be needed at the center and anyone interested can do one or more days a month from 11 a.m. to 1:15 p.m. Those who help get their meal that day free. If someone can give their time, please call. It’s great fellowship.

We can use more program ideas. Everyone enjoys music or learning about trips, crafts or other hobbies and those who present a program get their meal that day, too.

January menus are ready, but effective Jan. 2...

We would like to remind everyone if there is inclement weather, to please watch the local news channels as we will have it on the bottom of the screen if we are closed because of the weather.

We don’t go by the school schedule. Instead, we decide if it’s safe for you to get out and eat at the center. Please keep this in mind.

We are playing Bingo Wednesday, Dec. 12 after lunch and Dec. 13, if you will bring your wrapping paper and gifts, I can help with wrapping.

We have a program at 12:30 p.m. Dec. 14 with Manirva Earple Hickenooper. It should be a fun time. We hope to see as many people as possible.

Haris Zafar will be here at 11 a.m. Dec. 19 to do hearing checks.

Welcome to December.

It’s hard to believe the year has gone by so fast. So while many go out Christmas shopping, consider stopping by for a cup of coffee or just to say hello. Maybe even stay for lunch. We would love to have others join us.

The center’s Christmas dinner is Friday, Dec. 21. We encourage those planning to attend to sign up early. We need to have reservations by Dec. 12 because we start filling up quickly for this meal. If we do get filled up, orders can still be placed by 11:15 a.m.

The center is closed Dec. 24 and Dec. 25. For those who may need frozen meals for those days, let us know so our cook can have them ready.

We want to thank everyone who attended our fundraiser Saturday and to...
