Are you getting excited yet? It’s 15 more days until Christmas! We are having our Cookie and Candy Extravaganza today, December 6th, from 3 to 6, or until we sell out. Tomorrow, there is the Upper Country Singers Christmas Concert from 3 to 5:00 p.m.; there is a Soup fundraiser for the wrestling club starting at 5:30; and the Water Tower Christmas tree lighting at 7:00 p.m. There are lots of activities going on to get you in the mood for the Holidays!
Of course, by the time you read this, all of those events will be over. But hopefully, the feelings stirred by attending these events will last through the season. Our Cookie and Candy Extravaganza will be our last fundraiser of 2025.
Our fundraising committee has worked hard this year to come up with new and fun ideas to raise money for the Center. Many Thanks to Lynda Yoder, Lola Hartnoll, Dana Munden, Moriah Yoder, and Donna Talbot for all their efforts to add value (money) and fun to the centers’ bottom line.
And thanks to the community who came to our fundraisers, we wouldn’t be successful without you!
December is another month when our schedule will be different from normal. On Wednesday, December 10, we are having our Annual Meeting after lunch. I hope you can attend to vote for the individuals serving on the 2026 Board of Directors. Your Vote counts!
On December 17th, in addition to the center’s Christmas dinner, we are having our monthly FoodPantry from 1:30 to 3:00 p.m. Our December foot clinic will be on December 22nd. You will need an appointment for this service. Please call (208) 257-3358.
The following week is Christmas week, and we will be closed the entire week: Wednesday, December 24th, through Friday, December 26. We will open just in time to show 2025 out the door! I’ll be glad to wave goodbye and hope for a saner 2026.
Menu: Friday, December 12th: Sloppy Joe’s, Oven-Fried Potatoes, Salad, Mixed Fruit, and dessert. Wednesday, December 17th: Baked Ham, Cheesy Hash Brown Potato Casserole, Green Beans, Pistachio Jello Salad, Wheat Roll, and Pecan Pie. Friday, December 19th: Pizza! Combination, Hawaiian, Chicken Alfredo, or Pepperoni and Sausage, and Ice Cream Sundaes.
Have a great week, everyone!
