I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving full of turkey, family, and fun. The Christmas season has moved swiftly upon us. Many of you are already shopping and wrapping, preparing for parties and traveling, making plans and realizing December just seems to be the shortest month of the year.

Paul and I decided to do something different for Thanksgiving this year. We have wanted to travel to Lubec for many years and just never made the time. This year, we're taking mom and heading up there for a couple of days. None of us has ever been there, but Paul's Dad, Bill Bonyun, spent a lot of time there teaching history through folk songs and ballads in the schools, so we'd like to see the area that was so dear to his heart.

Please put on your calendar the annual Christmas program held at the Westport Community Church located beside the Old Town Hall. The program begins at 7 p.m. on Sunday, December 9. Following the program, please gather at the town hall for fellowship and refreshments. This program always brings a sense of peace and community to the holidays. The event is free to attend and if you need a ride, you can call one of the Human Resource Volunteers. Feel free to call Georgia Sledge at 882-7645 for more information about the program.

If you have any news or activities you'd like listed in this column, please call me at 882-9032, or e-mail me at pbonyun@gwi.net.
