Sorry, Everybody,

The old editor left out two notices from the Reminder bulletin:

1.    We are collecting for Dressed for Success ladies dresses and clothing, especially size 18 & up.  On top of this just about any clothing is welcomed.  Bill Hammond will gather everything into his car and take them to their office/warehouse.

 

2.   We are doing our Advent food drive.  Ken & Cindy will collect and deliver the food.  The items especially appreciated: 

Food Drive:  canned meats (like chili, ravioli, etc.), personal care items (shampoo, toothpaste, soap, toothbrush, etc.), peanut butter and jelly, macaroni.  These are the items that disappear the quickest, but they really can use any food or household items.

 

 

Welcome: Catholic Mass with coffee and juice and specials on the house served afterwards.

Time: 9:30; Celebrate with the Community & Stack.

Place: Vines High School, 15th between Custer & Independence.

How to be Happy in Old Age
by
Christine Swanberg

 

Refer to Pavarotti as your friend.

Listen to him often.

Try to live the way he sings.

Give everyone A’s in everything.

Never be afraid of your hair

or what others might say about it.

Prefer levity to pomposity.

Make up wonderful lies

especially to stupid questions.

Love good food and drink.

Cook marvelously.

Carry a rusty briefcase

or a red knapsack.

Make satirical weathervanes.

Wear outrageous socks.
