In this issue…

We share the holiday spirit of giving with Toys For Tots, see how the Shriners plan to “Save the Day” for some deserving local kids, relive the scary fun of the Ghoulish Golf Cart Parade, explore the holiday gifts and decorations at the Nearly New Christmas Shop, get a bird’s eye view of the SCCCA’s building plans, and hear from the CA Board candidates.

Then, we get some holiday season safety tips from our very own Deputy Merry, catch up with the RN Club, pitch in to support the UMC’s Alzheimer’s Mission, enjoy some BBQ & Blues at the Firehouse, meet some interesting neighbors, and celebrate a random act of kindness, before cruising off to majestic Iceland and touring the world with friends who took The News across the globe.

And, as always, be sure to check out the Club News and Community News sections to help you plan your month.
