FALL & WINTER EVENTS AT THE CENTER

This year, once again, we'll be collaborating with the Fairfield Center School, the Bakersfield 4-H, and the area churches to distribute approximately seventy THANKSGIVING BASKETS to area families trying to make ends meet. Baskets will consist of a turkey, stuffing mix, cranberry sauce, potatoes, winter squash, and a homemade pie. We also provide rice and seasonal root vegetables and directions for making turkey soup from the leftovers. Anyone wishing to donate frozen turkeys (or money to buy turkeys), butter, canned green beans, or sweet potatoes to this project may do so. Please drop off your donations at the Center by Wednesday the 17th. Thanksgiving Basket pick up is from 11:30 - 1:00 on Saturday, November 20th. 

NEW PROGRAMS FOR SENIORS ~ We're working with Americorps volunteer Jack Quint to bring the seniors some new programs this fall and winter. Activities will be on Tuesdays either before or after the community lunch at noon (or both). We'll be starting up another round of Seated Yoga on November 9th with a special guest who'll lead the group in LAUGHTER YOGA. Proven to be beneficial to the immune system, strengthen stomach muscles, and reduce stress and fatigue, it's also lots of fun! Join us at 11:00 on November 9th. 

Mark your calendars for the weekend of December 4th and 5th as the town of Fairfield hosts numerous HOLIDAY FAIRS, Santa visits, luncheons and lots of handcrafted gifts with events at The Community Center, St. Patrick's Church, the Fairfield Center School Gymnasium and Esden Florist. Make a day of it!
