Briefly
• Glasscock Co. Senior Citizens will meet Nov. 15, at 6:00. There will be finger foods and games. The Christmas party will be on Dec. 6 with Christmas potluck. Instead of a gift exchange this year, each senior is asked to bring canned goods (non-perishable) to donate to someone who needs the food. Please join us for good food and fellowship.
• Once again, we ask those with Internet access to remove your names from our U.S. Postal delivery list, and instead, read the Glasscock County News online. This helps us with both printing and postage expenses, and gets the newsletter to you a full day or more before the postal-delivered copies. We will notify you via email each month when the newsletter is posted to the website. From the Internet, you can print your own copy of the GC News, and can refer to back issues dating to January 2000. Just call 354-2221, or send an email to gcnews201@aol.com and give us your email address. Do it now – before you forget! Thanks!
