Don’t You Love The Holidays?
You’re Invited to a Free Concert With
Straight Lace
The Senior Center at Lower Village is celebrating the season by thanking our members for everything they do. We
greatly appreciate your participation in our activities, your financial support and your hours of volunteering.
The Center is thanking its members with a free concert, performed by one of New England’s premier
bands, Straight Lace. Our “Prelude to Prelude” concert will set the tone for the upcoming Christmas Prelude in
Kennebunkport. This enjoyable afternoon of music will be performed at the Nonantum Resort on Sunday,
December 1 at 1:30 p.m. Refreshments will be served. Members should contact the Senior Center to reserve their
ticket. Tickets are free to members. Tickets for non-members are $5.00 each. We look forward to seeing you at the
Nonantum.
Mark your calendars: 22nd Annual Christmas Fair, Saturday, December 7, from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
We have aromatic holiday wreaths with handmade bows, lovely mantle arrangements, the very popular boxwood
trees – handmade by our dedicated volunteers, as well as many other wonderful Christmas items and gifts.
This year with a $5 donation, you can have a beautiful personalized quilted ornament hanging on our
spectacular Christmas tree in memory or in honor of a special loved one, friend, or even a pet. These ornaments
will remain on the tree throughout the holiday season and will be recycled to continue this tradition next year. Visit
us at the Center to sign up for one of these special ornaments and be part of our memorable recognition tree. We’ll
need lots of ornaments to decorate our magnificent and meaningful Christmas tree!
BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND - The Senior Center will be selling Cash Calendars for $10 each.
When you purchase a Cash Calendar for $10, you will get 31 chances to win in the month of January. Throughout
the month of January $1500 in cash prizes will be distributed. Enclosed is a Cash Calendar. If you would like to
