The Cedars and Chef Jack Erwin will host the monthly birthday party at the Senior Center at 1 p.m. on Monday.

If your birthday is in October we invite you and a friend to enjoy a Chef Jack’s homemade pumpkin cake, warm apple cider and Jack’s Halloween candy mix.

Also, from 6 to 7:30 p.m. on Monday, come in and set-up a Facebook account or learn about more options using your Facebook account.

Impress your kids and grandchildren by setting it up and connecting to them. Keep up to date with their pictures and news. You can either bring in your portable device or use a computer here. If you would like to attend this class please sign up as class size is kept to a minimum. To sign up please stop by the front desk or call at 507-433-2370.

Introducing the new transportation and chore coordinator

Hello all, my name is Cristina here for you as the new transportation and chore coordinator. We are currently doing yard cleanups to get rid of those leaves and putting things away until next spring. If you need help with fall cleanup please let me know.

We are looking ahead and preparing for the snow season. The chore program wants to keep you safe and out of the cold by clearing that snow away. We have good workers that are eager and ready.

Please be ready by calling the chore program if you need help with snow removal.

Our goal is to keep you safe and in your home. Please give us a call to set up your snow removal for the season or if you have any questions or requests. You can reach me at 507-481-3333.

Lunch is served

Don’t forget our coffee shop where every day you can have homemade soup for $1 and a sandwich for 50 cents. On Tuesday, we are having scalloped potatoes and ham for $2.
