OSCODA COUNTY – Happy New Year!! Welcome January! Hopeful that everyone had a happy, joyful holiday season.
So far, winter has seemed to throw us some unusual weather. Please remember though when those very cold temperatures do decide to rear up, you need to be mindful of dressing warmly and in layers.
If you are doing any snow shoveling, remember to take breaks and not over do. When it is a wet and heavy snow it will wear you out quickly, don’t try to do it all at once.
The Together We Can food drops this month will be on Thursday Jan. 6 and 20. From 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at the fairgrounds. Remember if they run out of food they will not be there until 2:30 p.m.
The CSFP (senior cheese box) is scheduled for Tuesday Jan. 25 from 10-11 a.m. at the fairgrounds.
The Council’s monthly board meeting is scheduled for Monday Jan. 10. The public is welcome to attend. A reminder that we do still have a senior exercise class going on Tuesday mornings at 10:30 a.m. as well. Come and join in on the fun!
We would like to say a huge THANK YOU to the community once again for its support and donations to help make it possible for us to package, wrap, and deliver about 110 Christmas gift boxes to the seniors we serve through the center. We also hope those that attended the Christmas buffet dinner on Dec. 16 enjoyed the meal and their time here.
This year’s first Full Moon will be shining down on us Jan. 17.
Have a terrific month and keep up those daily smiles! Please, remember to pass one on to brighten someone else’s day too. The world sure needs more of that right now, we are all struggling with something.
