Dear Friends of AFCI,
I am sorry to report the recent enjoyable time of watching the leaves turn color is now behind us. There is not much more time to finish raking and cleaning up the gardens and yard. It is time to look forward to both the festivities and the quiet times of winter.
No matter the season of the year (or our lives) there is much to look forward to and enjoy. The following photos of local events and people capture some of the many activities that are available to us as we age.
Attend a Bethel Senior Citizens lunch to learn about charitable endeavors such as Christmas for Families. Nina Wheeler has enthusiastically led this effort for decades. Nancy Staudinger spoke about the members’ plans for attending “The Joy of Christmas” performance in Portland.
Spread good cheer. Prepare for the holidays by decorating your house. Rick and Ellen Whitney decorate their windows early so they can avoid the chill and winds that are sure to come.
“Measure twice, cut once” is sound advice when hurrying to finish up those fall carpentry chores. Tom Remington is in his mid-70s and works on home projects every day.
Completing craft or sewing projects brings great satisfaction and relief! I finished putting side panels on this quilt…after putting it off for at least 6 months!
Volunteer to help with youth or the older folks in your community.
