SENIORPROJECTSOFRAVENA�

� Well Seniors: Here we are again. C H R I S T M A S S E A S O N. So Hap-py Holidays to all. Of course, along with the Holidays, comes cold and snow. We ask you to be very careful during this season. Walking in ice and snow can be treacherous As usual the Center will be open and serving meals as many days as the weather allows. You may find out about closures by listening to either Channel 6, 10 or 13. Also, you are welcome to call the Center for information. And do not forget about our Christmas Party on Saturday, December 16 at 4:00 pm with entertainment by Sharon’s Music beginning at 5:00 pm We are planning a prime rib dinner so reservations are necessary so we can get an accurate count of those attending. You may either sign up at the front desk or call us at 518-756-8593. As in the past, the heat at the center will be set at 70 degrees so if you feel the cold you might wish to bring a sweater. We will be putting up our Christmas tree again this year. The tree will be deco-rated by the local girl scouts on December 5 at 2 pm Happy and Safe Winter Season. If winter comes, can spring be far behind???
