Senior & Community News September – October 2023 From the Director’s Desk: September is around the corner. That means the return of school buses and children walking to/from school. Stay vigilant, stop for buses, and keep kids and yourselves safe. Daylight hours are getting shorter. Temperatures at night are getting cooler again. This is the best time of year for an evening fire in the firepit, some hot cider or cocoa, and good friends. Leaves dress up in their fancy colors, a new season of football begins (GO BILLS!), and we plan on getting Christmas shopping done early this year. It doesn’t mean we WILL get it done early, but we will try. Don’t forget to ask your doctor about getting your annual flu shot, and if there are other vaccinations they recommend. Stay healthy and enjoy autumn! Carrie Fabricius - Program Director
