RONAN — Well, here I am, running late again. Time seems to go so fast. It is hard to believe that November is already more than half over. Christmas will be upon us before we know it. It is bazaar season and ours is this weekend.
We will be open on Saturday, from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. and the address is 508 Main Street SW. We are located across the street from the hospital. We are having a lot of local crafters, so come on in and support the smallest of the small businesses. Lunch will be available for $5 per person. You will also have a chance to buy tickets for our raffle. Our Thanksgiving dinner is Wednesday, Nov. 16 at noon. At that time we will honor Earl and Euva Fercho as our Seniors of the Year. Earl and Euva work tirelessly here at the center, and are always ready to lend a helping hand.
Senior commodities are in and if you haven’t picked yours up yet, please do so as soon as possible. The COA is open everyday during the week.
The pinochle players will meet here at 7 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 21. This group meets on Monday nights at the various centers here in the Valley. We also have Bridge players who meet here every Monday, at 1 p.m. Both groups are open to the public and are encouraging more people to join them.
There is also interest in getting a Cribbage game going on Monday afternoons. Please let us know if you are interested in joining either group and we will pass the word on to them.
We will be closed on Thanksgiving and the Friday after so our cooks can have more time to spend with their families. Since that Friday is the last Friday of the month, we have moved our November birthday dinner to the following week on Friday, Dec. 2.
This is a little late in coming, but we would like to thank Joanne Shaw for all the hard work that she has put into the COA office here in Ronan. She has worked tirelessly to get things done and we will miss having her around. Dara Rodda has been hired to replace Joanne and is doing a wonderful job. Thanks to both of you ladies for all of your hard work.
Our menus is:
— Wednesday, Nov. 16: our Thanksgiving dinner
— Friday, Nov. 18: baked fish
— Monday, Nov. 21: homemade pizza
— Wednesday, Nov. 23: chili
— Friday, Nov. 25: we are closed
— Monday Nov. 28: tuna rice bake
— Wednesday, Nov. 30: beef stew.
And then, we start December already.
The center is open on Monday, Wednesday and Friday for the noon meal and we have an evening meal at 5:30 p.m. on the second Thursday of the month. As with all of our activities, everyone is welcome to attend.
Have a great week, and enjoy the nice weather while we have it. After all, we do live in Montana and the weather can change at any moment.
