The St. Ignatius Christmas Carnival will be Dec. 2 at the high school; at 5 p.m. is the lighting of the Christmas Tree with chili, hot drinks and cookies served at the Good Old Days Pavilion. There will be live reindeer, a Parade of Lights and caroling.

If you want to suggest some type of activity that would help with the winter blues – a craft night or movie night, or coffee hour during the day – call us.

The Senior Center will be having a Bake Sale at the 4-H Bazaar on Dec. 9 at the St. Ignatius High School Gym. Donations are welcome.

The center is collecting new and slightly coats, scarves, mittens/gloves and socks for elementary and middle school kids to help keep them warm during the winter.
