Preparing and serving the dinner are the First Baptist Church, St. John’s R. C. Church, St. Mark’s Episcopal Church, and the United Methodist Church. . Pictured (l-r) : Bob Sainato, Pastor Riley, and Lorraine James prepare for the Thanksgiving Dinner for Seniors in New Milford on Sunday, November 23. "Our parishioners have been preparing this special dinner for some time," said the Rev. Louis Kaminski, pastor of St. John’s Church. "It has been amazing to witness members of our four parishes come together to plan the menu and portion out the various tasks. This year we are expecting a large crowd for both the dinner and the worship service." "Each congregation has taken responsibility for some part of the event," reports Joan Flint of St. Mark’s who is acting as coordinator. "St. Mark’s is providing the turkey, stuffing and gravy; First Baptist will bring the mashed potatoes and coleslaw; United Methodist will provide the veggies, fruit breads, and holiday favors; and, St. John’s will supply the desserts. And, word has it, Pastor Riley is brewing a special hot cider." The combined youth groups from the parishes will serve as greeters and servers. "This dinner is open to all seniors," said Lorraine James of St. John’s and, with a twinkle in her eye, she added, "we don’t plan to have anyone at the door checking ID’s." Child Evangelism Fellowship Banquet Child Evangelism Fellowship of Susquehanna County will hold its annual fall banquet, Thursday, November 20, 6:00 p.m. at the Montrose Bible Conference Tea Room. The featured speaker will be Mr. Bob Longenecker, Director of Child Evangelism Fellowship of Wayne and Pike Counties for 13 years. Special music will be provided by Mr. Russell Sears and Mr. Phil Winn. A delicious tender eye of roast beef dinner will be served. Reservations may be made by calling 278–9159 on or before November 17. October 9 was a beautiful, warm and sunny day. It was unusually low attendance, partly due to Alice Everitt’s mystery trip, and Pastor Don and Doris Bartholomay have gone to their winter home in Greenwich, NY. We were very happy to have Dolores and Jack Rettberg back for a day. Since then, George McKee has been in and happily out of the veterans’ hospital in good shape. Gene and Rose Wagner are again filling their regular niches in our weekly sessions. To end the month on the 30th, we were very busy with a Halloween party, featuring a mystery "Spider Woman" and graced by a very authentic "Maid Marion" of Robin Hood fame, and plenty of other well costumed masqueraders. At the same time we held an "in house," white-elephant Chinese auction. What great fun and a very profitable day! We had a brown bag day on November 11. We went shopping at Wal-Mart and Target, with lunch at Country Buffet. Dr. Bordeaux will be speaking on diabetes on the 20th. We will have our monthly blood pressure screening, North Central Sight Services will be there doing eye screenings, and Endless Mountains Health Systems will do fall and balance screenings. Words of wisdom, blind blessing, to quote Robert Burns, the poet. "Oh what a gift, the giftee gives us. To see ourselves as others see us. Our self-esteem would be revised – and old friends would be ostracized." The Susquehanna County Department of Economic Development (SCDED) is hosting Walking Tour 101, a workshop focusing on how to develop a community walking tour on November 18, 7 p.m. in the conference room of the County Office Building, Public Avenue, Montrose. "We’re pleased to offer our communities an opportunity to learn more about developing events that will both increase our residents’ appreciation of the historic aspects of their communities, and also offer visitors an introduction to our heritage," says Justin Taylor, SCDED Director. "Visitors drawn into an area by events such as walking tours will also take advantage of retail services in that community." Keynote presenter for the Walking Tour 101 workshop is Susan Cabot, Deputy Director of Preservation Pennsylvania, a statewide historic preservation, nonprofit organization. Ms. Cabot will discuss which type of walking tour best suits each community’s resources, provide information on how to organize the project, and suggest ways to market the tour to local residents, heritage tourists and educators. Bob Veleker, Director of the Endless Mountains Heritage Region will discuss funding the project through local support and through grants. While there is no charge for the event, reservations are requested. To register, or obtain more information, please contact the SCDED at (570) 278-4600, ext. 558. Towanda, PA - A series of grant writing workshops designed to help prospective new partners of Endless Mountains Heritage Region (EMHR) more effectively seek funding and understand EMHR's meaning and mission will start later this month. "The workshops are open to everyone who would like to learn more about the Pennsylvania Heritage Park Program and EMHR," explained EMHR Executive Director Bob Veleker. "We also provide additional information on other funding sources." The workshops are scheduled in each of the four counties the Heritage Region encompasses: Bradford, Sullivan, Susquehanna and Wyoming. The local workshops are scheduled from 1 to 3 p.m., Nov. 14, in Tunkhannock Public Library in Wyoming County, and from 1 to 3 p.m., Nov.18 in the Susquehanna County Office Building, 31 Public Ave., Montrose.

Farm City Feast Tradition Continues Since its beginning in 1955, the Pennsylvania Farm-City program continues to celebrate the cooperation and partnership between farms and urban dwellers. This tradition is played out again this year in Susquehanna County as the 37th annual Farm City Feast is held at Mountain View High School on Saturday, November 22, starting at 7:30 p.m. The Farm City Feast is planned and put together by a committee of volunteers who work in conjunction with Penn State Cooperative Extension of Susquehanna County. This year plans include a welcome by Ted Place, the Master of Ceremonies for the 2003 program, followed by a roast beef dinner served by the Harford Willing Workers. After dessert the program moves to the auditorium for the evening’s entertainment, Farmer Joe Peck, who will have you "laughing until the cows come home." Peck is a dairy farmer and storyteller who enjoys rural life on his farm in Saratoga County, New York. His delightful tales of life on the farm touch every aspect of the business – and leave you wanting more. Peck has gathered some of his favorite columns written over the years in a book, "A Cow in the Pool & Udder Humorous Farm Stories." There are door prizes available as well so you’re sure to leave with a treasure of some sort. Farmer Joe Peck will entertain you "til the cows come home" at Farm City Feast. In conjunction with the Farm City Feast, Cooperative Extension will hold their annual meeting starting at 6:00 p.m. in the auditorium of the high school. Any resident of Susquehanna County who has an interest or stake in the work of Cooperative Extension is welcome to attend this meeting. Extension Board member Jack Moulton will tell a story in pictures about his work with farmers in several African countries who are striving to pool their resources into a meaningful economic base. The story will bring a new appreciation for our own bounty and fortune. The Cooperative Extension annual meeting is free. Tickets for the event are available from Farm City Feast committee members (call the Extension office at 278-1158 for names) or directly from the office at 31 Public Avenue, Montrose. Priority parking and seating will be available for those requiring special assistance. Holiday
