THE SEE OFF COMMUNITY CENTER DECEMBER POTLUCK/HOLIDAY PARTY

The party will be held a week earlier this month on Sunday, December 14. Event starts at 5:30 pm with time to socialize for a bit before eating at 6:00 pm. After dinner... sing some carols and enjoy the spirit of the season! There is no speaker for this one… just a celebration of the season and our community. Photo of Christmas themed appetizers for inspiration! 

Decorations: Robin McCain and Lesin Dippold will be at the center at 4:00 pm on Saturday Dec. 13 to clean up a bit and decorate. If you would like to help out, please come on by!

*Bring your own plate/cup/utensils if you can – it reduces our contributions to the landfill.  

Hope to see you there!  Warmly, Your See Off Community Center Communications Elf

MCGAHA CHAPEL CHRISTMAS CAROLING

There was a great turn out for the sing-a-long at the McGaha Chapel last Sunday.  Santa was there to the delight of the kids in attendance and the adults too. Happy carolers are seen exiting the church.

Patty Stahl shared a couple of her photos  

REPAIR CAFE

Lots of folks showed up to get help with nonfunctioning appliances.  Linda Young brought in her rug shampooer that quit suctioning water after being cleaned.  It works great now.  Thanks to Cedar Mountain Canteen for hosting the Repair Cafe.  Kim Coram mentioned that the Repair Cafe will no longer be held in Cedar Mountain and that another location in Brevard will be used from now on.  So sad to see it go.

AROUND THE HOUSE by Linda Packer Young

Here’s what’s happening.

If you borrow enough money to make needed home repairs, the sink faucet starts leaking, the dryer stops drying, two smoke detectors start beeping, both cars need repairs, dishwasher isn’t draining and fluorescent bulbs burn out... It's as though these things "know" when it's time to malfunction and what you planned to do with the money goes "whoosh". 

At least our new handicap ramp and deck remodel is finished thanks to contractor, Jose Gonzales. I don’t think there is anything he can’t do.  He and his crew did a fine job.
