Hello Everyone!

Happy Thanksgiving!! What a wonderful time

of year to count our blessings and celebrate all that

we have. I have so much to be grateful for. My

husband and kids. My family and Grandma!!! And all

of you here!! This month we also celebrate Veteran’s

Day. Let’s all take a moment to show gratitude and

appreciation to all of our veterans and to our friends

and family that we hold near and dear.

After a busy October here at the center we’re not slowing

things down much! Kicking off this month we will have the Flu shots

on Friday, November 1 from 10:00 to 1:00 pm. Costco will be here

with membership information as well Christina from Veterans Affairs

to share information and resources. Also, for a little bit of fun, a

representative from Color Street nails will be here!

The Senior Center Bus will be heading to Mancino’s for the

Lunch Bunch on November 13, to MJR theatre on November 20, and

to Twelve Oaks shopping mall to hit the Black Friday Early Bird sales

on November 27!! I can’t wait for that one!! :) Also this month,

Beltone Hearing will be here for hearing checks and a ten step

hearing instrument check up on November 22 at 12:00 pm.

The Livingston County Ladies Club will be dropping off the

Dove Giving Tree in the beginning of the month. All gifts need to be

returned to the center by the end of November. Also this month,

Livingston County Catholic Charities will be collecting items for their

Christmas Blessings Project. A list of items is located in the

newsletter. All items need to be at the center by December 4th so

baskets can be distributed by Christmas.

Calling all bakers!!!! We would love to have you bake

something delicious for our bake sale at our annual Holiday Bazaar!!

This year the bazaar will be on Saturday, November 16, from 9:00 am

to 2:00 pm. There’s a sign up sheet on the lobby table to work at the

bazaar and also for all the yummy goodness you can bake!!

Looking ahead to December!?! Our Kiwanis Christmas party
