By Susie Pfarr, Executive Director

We are gearing up our Christmas bell program. Christmas bells is a program for seniors in need or just needing some holiday love. You can now call into our office to put a senior on our list. We will need their name, phone number, address, age and some suggestions when you call for gifts. They will be given a number and then the local community churches will kindly buy gifts for those that get called in. Names need to be turned into our office by Nov. 12. Gifts will be delivered on Tuesday, Dec. 23.

We are now taking reservations for our April 12, 2026 – April 18, 2026, Amelia Island/St. Augustine/Jacksonville Florida trip. A $75 non-refundable deposit is required to hold your place, and the total cost of the trip is $900 for members and $925 for non-members. You can now pay by Venmo or PayPal as well as by cash or check.

Just a reminder that we will be closed Monday, Oct. 13 in observance of Columbus Day. Our office and activities will resume on Tuesday, Oct. 14.
