ST. IGNATIUS — As the nights get longer and colder, we are so fortunate to have some glorious warm and sunny days. Come on in to the St. Ignatius Senior Center and enjoy lunch with us during your travels. Our menu for the week: — Friday, Sept. 10: chicken dinner, rolls, salad, fruit, dessert — Tuesday, Sept. 14: baked fish, rice pilaf, seasonal salad, fruit, dessert — Wednesday, Sept. 15, dinner at 5:30 - spaghetti with sausage, parmesan, salad, fruit, dessert

Our big fall yard sale is on Oct. 1 and 2. There will also be a bake sale on Oct. 1. If you have donations, please bring them by the center as late in the month as possible as we don’t have a lot of room for storage. Also, we could use yard sale volunteers to help set up and break down and haul leftover items to a donations center.

Please call Irene at the center for information.

Have a great week.
