Join us for the Halloween Costume Dinner, starting at noon on Monday.

Costumes are optional but there will be a prize for the best costume. We will have a fun meal and photo opportunities. Cost is $6.50.

We will start the meal with spider salad then on to the main course of bloody meat loaf feet, brain and decaying fingers and finish the meal with worms and a bloody eyeball. Hope to see you there.

 Life Long Learning

At 2 p.m. on Tuesday is our next Life Long Learning class.

This class focuses on deep thinking. We all think, but not all of us think deeply, which is thinking beyond what your mind defaults to.

Deep thinking is how we increase our number of valuable and useful thoughts. Your quantity of valuable thoughts has a direct effect on your quantity of valuable actions. And great lives are made by taking valuable action.

During each session you will explore areas of deep thinking and discuss the topics.

Attending you will dig deep into:

•The news

•Life

•Your strengths

•The World

•Ted talks and

•Success.

If this sounds like you or you have always enjoyed a good discussion please join us.

There will be a free will donation.

Please sign up by stopping by the Mower County Senior Center front desk or by calling 507-433-2370. We hope to see you there.

We look forward to seeing you at our many programs at the senior center. 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 will be serving scalloped potatoes and ham for only $2. You are always welcome at the center.
