ARLEE - Sunday, December 1st, brings Advent to the month preparing for that Christmas celebration we all love to have with one another and with our families.
Again, our Thanksgiving dinner shared at the Senior Center on the 23rd was well attended with delicious turkey, dressing, potatoes, gravy, sweet yams, homemade cranberries and of course, pumpkin pie. Tables were filled with friends and family as we shared many memories, discussed how we missed our “snowbird” friends and wondered at the snow in the mountains and much rain here in the Jocko Valley!
Now we look forward to our Christmas meal to be held this year on the 3rd Saturday of December - the 21st! Our Saturday meals will be 12/7 and 12/21 (the shortest day of the year) at 5 pm. Winter Solstice already?!
The regular meeting will be the first Tuesday of December, 12/3, at 10:30 a.m. All are invited and then to the Annual Meeting on the second Saturday where board members will be nominated and elected, and a report of the whole year will be presented. The officers are then elected at the following board meeting. If you have any item you wish discussed at the regular meeting or at the Annual Meeting, please let us know to put on the agenda.
We have new dishware, silverware and glasses for our use. The old dishware, etc., is available for you to take home and use/share/give away. Corelle dishware has been one of the safest we’ve used. Please help us out by taking it off our hands! (Including the extra puzzles by the door!) Dustin Tiensvold has the kitchen nearly back in order, with shelving put up recently. We enjoy our storm/screen doors for front and back, put in by Wade Gillingham.
And we thoroughly appreciate the new heating system, beautiful kitchen/floors, handicapped bathrooms, wash room and new lighting, among the many other cabinets, fridge, stoves, sinks, tables, etc., that Marvin Rehbein so kindly donated to us!
Outside of our visiting around the table, are you ready to play Bingo, Pool, Scabble, or any other games? We do enjoy the fact that We Enjoy Each Other’s Company! But if you want to do any more ... l even have a CD from PBS called Aging Backwards for easy exercises if you wish! Let the Board know your desires!
So have a great December 2024, enjoy Christmas the way you want, and may your wishes come true! God Bless Us Everyone! (Tiny Tim for sure!)
