There is still time this week to enjoy the fall weather. Take advantage and enjoy a meal outside while you still can! And consider dropping off a donation for local food banks to any of the three city sites collecting for the Feed the Masses Food Drive being held now through November 30th. Just drop off your food donations at the Community Center, Fire House No. 1, or the Police Department. Do you have an event to add to the calendar? If so, just send an email to us. Pictures or graphics can be included!
