ST. IGNATIUS — Come have fun and get a big start on the holiday cheer at the St. Ignatius Christmas Carnival, Dec. 2 at the high school. At 5:30 p.m. we will have the lighting of the Christmas Tree with chili, hot drinks and cookies served at the Good Old Days Pavilion. There will be live reindeer, the Parade of Lights line up and caroling. Come join the fun.
If you need Christmas goodies, come see us on Dec. 8; we will have a Bake and Craft Sale at the Senior Center from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. The 4-H Bazaar will take place on Dec. 9, between 9 a.m.-3 p.m. at the St. Ignatius High School Gym. Come and see what goodies we have. Any donations are welcome.
The St. Ignatius Senior Center is collecting coats, scarves, mittens/gloves and socks for elementary and middle school kids. We are accepting new and slightly used items. Help us keep kids warm during the winter.
I am sending out a plea for the Mission Valley Food Pantry. We need plastic grocery bags, empty boxes that will hold up to 30 pounds, dozen egg cartons and if you have four hours of time on Tuesdays and Fridays, we are in the need of volunteers to help clients from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. You are welcome to come to the Pantry at 203 Blaine and check things out on the days we are open.
We invite everyone to come and enjoy one of our meals or call for a take-out. Call 406-745-4462 by 10 a.m. on Tuesdays and Fridays and by 2 p.m. on Wednesdays. Times of meals are listed below. Menus for the month are available in the entryway of the center.

If you could have some type of activity that would help with the winter blues, call us with your suggestion and we will see what can be done here at the center. If you would like a craft night or afternoon, maybe a movie night, coffee hour during the day, call us and help us put this together.
We invite you to become a member of the Senior Citizen Center for a fee of $10 a year. You can join us at any age.
