**Correction to the Newsletter** We had a typo!
The free Thanksgiving dinner on page 12 at the Senior Center is on Tuesday, Nov. 15 at 3-6 p.m. NOT on Wednesday, Nov. 16.
Correct the date on your calendars, tell your friends and come on Tuesday, Nov. 15! The online newsletter has been corrected, but your printed or downloaded newsletters may have the old date.
Sorry for the confusion!
