Dear Linwood Family,

"Listen! The wind is rising, and the air is wild with leaves,we have had our summer evenings,

now for October eves!" - Humbert Wolfe –

Welcome to October! We have a month of fun and some spooky opportunities for you! Be sureto stop by for our garage sale (that is without the garage), on October 14 and 15, 2016. It is aFUND-raising event for the center so we can get some memory enhancing software for theLinwood Senior Center, and use the money we raise for various events throughout the year. Wealso will be taking donations the week of the 10th, so if you have things you would be willing todonate, we would appreciate them. All sales with go toward Linwood needs and activities. Wealso need volunteers for the garage sale. If you have a moment to share, we would appreciate it!As grandmother Fern always said, “Many hands make light work”!

Also, don’t forget we will start the Walk With Ease Program on October 3, so look for more information on the following page. As a reminder we need to dress up so we can have our HALLOWEEN PARTY on the 31st!
