We are getting ready for the
Thanksgiving luncheon, here
at the Center. Most of the
members have tickets for sale
or you can call 445-2006 and
someone will bring them to
you. You can also call 445-
2727 and have tickets deliv-
ered. The main reason for
selling tickets in advance is so
we will know how many peo-
ple to prepare for. Our
Thanksgiving Lunch is set for
November 12th at noon. Hope
to see you there!
The Center is a fairly busy
place, with everyone having a
good time. The quilters and
domino players stop what
they are doing, and go for
exercise class at" 10 a.m.
Classes are held each morning
at 10 (except Wednesdays);
Tuesday is Bingo at 9:30. We
have Pot Luck lunch on
Wednesdays at 11:30. The
Center is open to ahyone who
would like to come and be
with us. We would love to
have you join us.
I want to apologize for
another mistake, or maybe it
was a typo. As I was writing
this week's newsletter, I
noticed that I had the wrong
phone number for the Center
in last week's paper. 1 did
look, to be sure I had the right
one, this week. 1 am truly
sorry about that, and hope that
it didn't cause too many prob-
lems.
Until we see you again,
stay safe and stay active!

Brief:
_____
Another good day for us at
Peny Hall en Tuesday. It's one
day we all look forward to and
we can accomplish so much in a
few hours as well as have a
good time visiting and talking
about what happened to us dur-
ing the past week.
We now have completed lap
robes for one nursing home and
have two more groups to make
them for. It’s such a pleasure to
make them and know how these
people will enjoy them. Seems
this year they are prettier than
ever. We have been given so
much beautiful material. Seems
like we have solid colors to
match the lovely print tops.
Also we have a lot of different
colors of thread for tacking to
match the material. It all makes
for a beautiful gift.
Seems we are having more
visitors just to come and visit
with us and we love this. If any-
one wants to come see us and
play dominoes or fort-two, we
would like to have you. We
have plenty of room for that and
know you would have a good
and relaxed time. It's a good
way to forget all your aches and
pains and problems. Also, you
would be surprised at the good
food we have. We all bring a
covered dish and enjoy eating at
11:30, so don't be bashful and
come join us! Everyone
generation.
The multi-faceted and multi-
cultural production features a
flamboyant mixture of acrobat-
ics, magic, dancer comedy and
extraordinary stunts, With stun-
ning poise and brilliant cos-
tumes, these entertainers per-
form a variety of acts that have
to be seen to be believed,
Audiences barely have a chance
to catch their breath in the fast
paced show that includes
enlists, jugglers, cdfiWfton-
ists, tumblers and kung-fu
experts,
