CHEW AND CHAT for Seniors

 

Just because the Thankful Thursday dinners are over doesn’t mean that you need to eat alone. Why not share a meal and enjoy chatting across the table with a friend, or perhaps you don't cook but would be available to dine and chat.  If you are interested in CHEW AND CHAT, sign up and work out your details with someone on the list, or

call Bob Hench @ 243-4488.
