Last week I noticed that I had used an incorrect date in the article for the Holiday Brunch. I am so sorry and hope that no one missed the brunch because of my error.
If you ever have doubts about a date or anything else, please feel free to call us. We will be happy to confirm or correct the information.
Remember we will be closed for Thanksgiving Nov. 22 and 23, but we will be back Monday, Nov. 26.
Please plan on eating with us as we move into the next holiday season of Christmas. We have many activities planned so look at the menu and the newspaper to be sure you are ?in the know.?
Ron Traxson, the superintendent of Peabody-Burns, will be with us Tuesday, Nov. 27, and will introduce himself and visit with us after lunch.
Gayla Ratzlaff with Marion County Area Agency on Aging will be with us again Monday, Nov. 26 to help review prescription drug plans.

Reaching further into the month of December, we will also have our monthly birthday dinner Dec. 11 and the Annual Light Tour will be Dec. 12.

We always enjoy it and Sonja Koslowsky will be playing carols while we enjoy the snack. If you would like to ride the bus, call and let us know.
In December we will also be having a covered dish luncheon on Dec. 18.
We haven?t had a covered dish in quite awhile. Vada Ann McPheeters will entertain us with piano music and a sing-along.
