I am hoping everyone is easing into the winter season okay.
I must admit, that other than the holidays it is not my favorite time of year. The cold and I just don’t get along as well as we used to. However, I love where I live so I just deal with it. There are a couple events going on that I would like to let you know about.
Dec. 16 – Christmas buffet style dinner from 2-3 p.m. This is a dine-in only event, no to go orders will be served that day.
We have started working on our Christmas boxes. We are always looking for donations to help with this. Some items that would be helpful would be puzzle books, soaps, body washes, lotions, paper products such as: toilet paper, Kleenex, paper towel or napkins, socks for men or women, cleaning supplies, candy, and wrapping paper.
We are truly grateful for any donations you can bring in, and I know the gift box recipients appreciate it as well.
A food drop from Together We Can Food Pantry will be at the fairgrounds Dec. 16 from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Please remember if they run out of food earlier, they will be gone before 2:30.
The CSFP (senior cheese box) is scheduled for Dec. 14 from 10-1 a.m., also at the fairgrounds.
will be on December 14th from 10:00 to 11:00, this also takes place at the fairgrounds.
The board of directors meeting is scheduled for Dec. 13 at 9 a.m. The public is invited to attend.
There will be a breakfast meal Dec. 23 from 7:30-9:30 a.m. for dine in or to go orders. The center will close at noon that day and reopen Jan. 3 at 8 a.m.
The December Cold Moon will be shining down on the 18th. All of us at the Oscoda County Senior Center are wishing for wonderful holidays and a Merry Christmas for all of you!
Have a wonderful month and keep up those daily smiles! Don’t forget to pass one on to brighten someone else’s day too.
