The newly elected LaVallee Seniors Committee is hosting their first event. There will be a coffee get-together on Thursday (November 23) from 1-3 p.m. Anyone wanting to bring cards, or board games feel free to bring along. There will be muffins and cookies to enjoy. This is our first gathering for this newly founded idea. Here’s hoping a lot of folks come out.
Maybe offer a shut-in a ride if your able to do so.
Other suggestions have been brainstormed and the committee would greatly appreciate to hear any suggestions seniors may have.
