A heartfelt “hello” to all my East Bethel and all other readers. I am so grateful to Amy Chapman and all involved who made this possible again. Sorry for all the birthdays, anniversaries, etc. we have missed since last June. We sure have lots to catch up on.
Food insecurity has risen greatly within this year and as many of you may already know, my daughter Samantha Mullen started the “Neighbors Feeding Neighbors” back in August of this year. She is a firm believer that it takes each of us individual villagers to help each other through the tough times. It has been a great success with many volunteers joining in to make it happen. Now the event takes place every second Tuesday of the month, the next date being January 13th at 4:30 till 6:30 at the Bethel Methodist Church. Come and enjoy a nice hot, free meal. Donations of non-perishables are welcome and you are free to take what you need of those, the rest goes to the food pantry and CPS.
Those of you who missed Soup’s On December 17th, have no fears, the next one will be on January 21st at 11:00 till 1:00 at the Bethel Methodist Church dining hall. Looking forward to seeing you there.
The next meeting of the Bethel Seniors Group is scheduled for January 14th also at the Bethel Methodist Church.
We sure do have a nice calendar full of community events for all ages. In this spirit I would also like to bring your attention to AFCI which is here to help with various services like rides and now also with medical supplies like walkers, canes, and such. Their number is 824-4444.
Seniors Plus has an amazing program among their many services. You can purchase up to 5 tickets a month for $7.00 apiece which entitles you to lunch or breakfast at the Square or Daddy O’s. You can choose from a special menu they will give you.
Call me at 824-1113 or email heinrichcracker@gmail.com. You can also find me on Facebook if you so wish. So happy to be back and looking forward to hear from you
Merry Christmas to one and all.
