Are you prepared for the upcoming winter?
If not, it’s time to bring out your winter clothes and boots, and to put on your winter snow tires if you still drive a car.
Not a pleasant thought, but like it or not winter is coming.
On a more cheerful note the turkey dinner held at the Seniors Centre by the directors on Sunday, Oct. 26 was absolutely delicious.
Congratulations to all who helped and also to Gordon Giesbrecht for his expert input.
We’re all looking forward to when they hold their next dinner at the Seniors Centre.
The Old Age Pensioners Organization (OAPO) Branch 93 held its winter clothing sale on Oct. 25-26 at the Seniors Centre.

Also a huge thank you to all the people who donated clothing for the sale and to those who came to purchase clothes. A job well done.
