Annual Meeting And Farm City Feast As in the past Penn State Cooperative Extension in Susquehanna County will hold their annual meeting in conjunction with the 38th annual Farm City Feast. The meeting will be held on Saturday, November 20, 6:30 p.m. at the Mountain View High School Auditorium. Any resident of Susquehanna County who has an interest or stake in the work of Cooperative Extension is welcome to attend this meeting.
The 38th Annual Farm City Feast will be held at 7:30 p.m., November 20 at the Mountain View High School. Farm City Feast was established to continue the important connection between farm people and city people to create bonds of friendship and get a first hand look at each others’ way of life. The Pennsylvania Farm-City Program was created in 1955 to bridge the communication gaps between our rural and urban neighbors. Without farms, cities would have no food. Without cities, farmers would have no markets and processing facilities for their products. The link between our farms and urban dwellers is vital to economic opportunity and progress throughout the state. The program not only includes a delicious meal but special awards, door prizes, and fabulous entertainment. This year’s entertainment features Don and Gail James. Don and Gail live in Meshoppen and have a love for music, photography and travel. They enjoy photographing the natural wonders of God’s creation and present programs of slides and music. They especially search out and enjoy photographing. You will enjoy listening to Don sing hymns and patriotic songs as he projects the slides they have taken – you will also enjoy joining in on any of the songs that you know. If you require special needs or would like to purchase tickets to this fun-filled event, call the Penn State Cooperative Extension Office at 278-1158.

New Milford Churches Host Senior Dinner The annual Thanksgiving Dinner for Senior Citizens in the New Milford area will be held on Sunday, November 21, at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church, Main St., New Milford, at 5:30 p.m. The festive holiday dinner is a part of the Good News Lunch program and precedes the community-wide Thanksgiving Service, which will be held at the United Methodist Church at 7:00 p.m. The Good News Lunch (GNL) is a joint, community-wide outreach of the First Baptist Church, St. John’s RC Church, St. Mark’s Episcopal Church, and the United Methodist Church. Established two years ago, the GNL program brings together the four New Milford congregations. The main function of the GNL is to prepare a free meal for senior citizens and their guests on the third Saturday of each month. “We have been preparing for the Thanksgiving Dinner for sometime,” reports Albert Maholick, a parishioner of St. John’s RC Church and a member of the GNL coordinating committee. “Representatives from the four congregations met and planned the menu and then accepted responsibility for various parts. A traditional dinner is planned this year – turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, squash, coleslaw, a fresh veggie platter, rolls and, of course, pies. And, this year we are pleased that 10 young confirmands from the Methodist Church will help serve dinner to our guests.” Last year the dinner welcomed over 100 guests and the planners are anticipating more this year. “Ten turkeys have been contributed,” said Anita Benedict of St. John’s. “We are planning for 130 guests and that means we will be peeling about 36 pounds of potatoes!” “Only one thing is out of our control,” reports Doris Hollister of First Baptist. “Will Pastor Riley brew his special hot cider? I guess we will have to wait until November 21 to find out.”
Seniors Urged to Take Active Role The B/S/S/T Area Agency on Aging PrimeTime Health program will provide a free program on You and Your Physician: Partners in Health Care, on December 2, at the Great Bend Senior Community Center, Franklin and Maple Sts., at 12:15 p.m. This free program, presented by Sue Silva, RN, staff of the AAA, is designed to help older adults take a more active role in their health care. It demonstrates how to develop better communication with one’s doctor(s), and shows what to do before, during and after a doctor’s visit. Registration is not required. However, if you would like to eat lunch at the Senior Community Center, call the center manager at least one day in advance, at 879-2896. Senior Community Centers in Susquehanna County are operated by Barnes-Kasson Senior Services through a contract with the Area Agency on Aging.
