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.

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 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...
