Trick or treat? I’m going to leave the tricks up to Jim Clark. Keep a close eye on your dessert, silverware, or your whole stinkin’ plate. He is notorious for hiding things around here.

But the treats I am leaving totally up to you. Wednesday is our annual bake sale for United Way. The United Way is always so generous to include the Ochiltree County Senior Citizens Association in their yearly campaign allocations.

Please help us pay it forward by contributing with one of your favorite desserts. Bring it to the center by 10:30 a.m. Pull up a chair and have a cup of coffee while we try and decide which one we want to buy. We will be ready to sell these goodies at 11:30 a.m. You’re already here, so why not stay for lunch too.
