At 2 p.m. on Tuesday, the historical society will give a World War II presentation at the Senior Center, focusing on how it affected Mower County and how it wasn’t just soldiers who were fighting the war.

The people back home also contributed to the war effort. We are also looking for lots of personal stories to include in a new WWII exhibit that will be opening at the historical society next summer. If time permits we would love to hear you share your stories. Please register by stopping by the front desk or calling the Senior Center.

The holiday season can be a joy filled time but for those who have suffered a great loss, especially the death of a loved one, the holidays can be difficult. But the holidays do not necessarily have to be entirely sad.

Join us at the Senior Center at 2 p.m. on Wednesday as Mary Kittelson discusses ways to cope with your grief and give new meaning to the holiday season. There will be refreshments, so please sign up in advance by stopping by the Senior Center front desk or calling 433-2370, extension 0.

We are starting to think about the holidays. Get your holiday party booked. Dates are filling up fast and we would love to host your party.
