It’s Christmas in July at the Preble County Senior Center. Monetary donations that we receive through July 31, for this year’s Holiday Food Baskets will be matched up to $500 thanks to a local family. Monetary donations enable the Preble County Council on Aging to add items to the baskets like dairy products, meat, fresh fruit and vegetables. Please consider making an early donation so we can receive the match. We will, of course, take donations of non-perishable foods and paper products at any time before the baskets are delivered in December.
The Thursday Night Weekly Dance has moved back to The Grange at 501 Nation Avenue, Eaton. The weekly dance features delicious food, with a $1 menu, a 50/50 drawing and door prizes.

We look forward to seeing you at our next Thursday Night Dance.
