Here Comes Christmas

Don't Look Now, But Here Comes Christmas!--Can you believe that the year is almost gone and it won’t be long until that wonderful time of year we call Christmas! It seemed like just yesterday I wrote to thank you all for the great participation in our annual pie auction. And now it’s time to remind you of the community effort this requires to keep this tradition going. Our pie auction will be Saturday evening November 15th at 6:30 PM.

Please write this on your calendars and make plans for you and your family to attend. As always, we need pies and cakes donated, and we also need people to attend the auction and purchase all those goodies. Along with the pie auction we’ll have the traditional cake walk, ugly man contest, and prettiest girl contest, and we’re working on a new activity if we get all the items needed beforehand. We’ll have some door prizes for those in attendance; you might just be a lucky winner. Afterwards, the fellowship and desserts are nothing but finger-lickin-good! Whew, I can almost taste Shirley’s pecan pie…and just thinking about Sondra’s carrot cake makes my mouth water. And wash that down with Jeanette’s Christmas punch, don’t get no better than that!

Last year we collected almost $750.00 and that enabled us to prepare 150 goodie sacks for our Christmas Gathering! Good work Turner Community supporters!

The program and distribution will be Saturday December 20th at 6:30 PM. I’m sure Luann and the 4-H kids will have a great treat for us, and maybe Santa will make another personal appearance.

Mark these days on your calendar, hope to see you all there. We are truly blessed to have a very concerned and hard working board, but this event is about you, about tradition, about a season to enjoy each other and our ability to share with the community.

Thank You. Linda Wilkinson
