WRITING FOR PLEASURE
Calling all people interested in writing! Whether it be stories, poetry, song lyrics, memoirs or plays come together with a group of people with the same interest. Use the group as a sounding board and get fresh ideas from each other. The Writers Group meets the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of each month at 2:00 in the Conference Room.

Essential Shopping Mondays
Plan your Rutland shopping trips for Mondays. Our bus will begin pick ups in Fair Haven and Castleton at 12:30 and head into Rutland for your essential needs. You will have approximately 1 1/2 hours to shop. The bus leaves Rutland by 3:00. Call the Center by Friday if you want to be on the ride list.

  • The first and third Mondays will be shopping at Hannaford or the Diamond Run Mall.
  • The second and fourth Mondays will be to Price Chopper or Wal-Mart.

Winter Transportation Alert
During the winter months, if the weather is bad, listen to the radio for school closings. If the Castleton Schools are closed, the Community Center van will not be operating.

Letters of Thanks:
Thank You on behalf of my soldiers. We received a shipment of your woolies on Dec 22. We are in the mountains in Afghanistan and the weather is quite chilly. The woolies will be put to good use.

May you and your group have a Merry Christmas.

The Ladies of the Knitters Network,
Thank you for the helmet liner, your thoughts and your prayers. I received my first helmet liner in 2009 around this time of year. I meant to send a thank you but I became busy with training for the deployment to Afghanistan. I apologize for that, I should have at least sent an email. That helmet liner went with me to Afghanistan and I am still very grateful that it kept me warm but also because it’s something homemade. That means a group of people back home care about me. I received another on last week and passed it on to another soldier who is new. Thank you again for being wonderful people. I wish you all Happy Holidays and New Year.
