In an effort to be more green, this is a December/January combined newsletter. Please hold on to it after the holidays! In
January you can pick up a copy of the menu for the month.
We hope you can join in some of the seasonal activities we are offering during December. we'll have "Oh Fudge" on the 9th, our Holidaze Luncheon on the
14th and The Mighty Kelltones on the 16th.
In January you will have a chance to "test drive" some new offerings. We'll be hosting a Qi Gong demonstration and a presentation on Aromatherapy. Also in the new year, we'll have Tai Sophia back

The staff would like to wish you and your family a happy and healthy and safe holiday season. We
feel very fortunate to work at the center and appreciate the support of our members in all that we
do.
Warmly,
Regina, Cathy, Chris, Wendell & Jeanne
