The LaVallee Township is in the planning stages for a Senior’s Group. There is still much to do, including a grant to be applied for. The Senior’s committee organized a coffee and games get-together last Thursday (November 23) at the Devlin Hall. Close to 40 people attended, and from the feedback of those attending, it was enjoyed by all. The bottomless cups of coffee and tea along with baking made it feel like a really old time visit, which is what people did for entertainment years ago. There is plans for an event in January – maybe a breakfast get-together. Suggestions for events are welcome!
Holly Daze takes place this Friday and Saturday December 1 and 2. From the parade Friday night, followed by tree lighting and hot chocolate and cookies to many more events it promises to be a great weekend.

Sam, the computer repair man says to Joe, “ I don’t think you even know what a hard drive is.”
Joe answered, “I’ve driven cross country with my wife, three kids and a dog. I know what a hard drive is.”
