Marion Senior Center
We celebrated Halloween by singing Halloween carols. The cooks and I wore costumes. Barb Bitner was really creative. She blackened one eye and had the letter ?P? on the back of her dress. Who was she?
Bob Peterson celebrated his birthday Nov. 4 with a cake baked by Mary Hett.
Sue Clough tried the recipe for apple butterscotch cake found in the ?Rural Messenger,? which comes in every week. We challenge others to try the recipe in each issue.
Leland Albrecht brought in a huge box of chocolates for his birthday Nov. 5. Figuring out which one to choose without poking them was fascinating.
Our program Nov. 6 was given by Frank and Linda White on the ?Joy of Bluegrass.? They played recorded examples of different performers and styles.
Come join us Nov. 20 for Senior Center Day. Mark Wilcox will talk about his prize-winning violins.

The Peabody Community Foundation is hosting a get-together Wednesday, Nov. 14, at the Prescott House, 501 Sycamore St.

Commodities will be distributed from 2:30 p.m. to 4 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 14.
We will bag the commodities when they arrive. Anyone who would like to volunteer their time will be appreciated.
The Marion County monthly board meeting at our center is Friday, Nov. 15.
This is a very informative meeting, and people enjoy meeting with other seniors. We encourage those interested to make their reservations early.
The annual Thanksgiving dinner for the senior center is also Nov. 15.
Our monthly business meeting is Tuesday, Nov. 19, after the noon meal.

These are delicious meals. Our menus are available at the center or in the weekly newspaper below this article.
