Senior volunteers will be doing the bingos at the Pine Island Lodge Nov. 18 and 25 and will supply the prizes also. The next monthly meeting will be Dec. 2.
I hope all seniors voted as this is a privilege in a free country. If you didn't vote, don't complain about what goes on!

It is mid-November and we have a little snow. I think it will stay this time.
Don't forget to attend the Festival of Trees, running from Nov. 21 to Nov. 26. Viewing hours are 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday to Friday and 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday, with entertainment during the day. The Red Hat Ladies do a fantastic job of decorating the hospital atrium, businesses donate decorated trees and silent auction items are on display. Money raised goes to the comfort or lodge and hospital residents. What a worthy cause. Way to go, ladies!
