From the Director, Joyce Lubben The month of December is always one of the busiest of the year. Whether you go all out to celebrate, or do a minimum of shopping, cooking, and decorating; the sights, smells, and sounds of the holidays, maneuvering through the traffic, and fighting the crowds of shoppers all add to a sense of excitement and anticipation. The holidays can be the sweetest and warmest of times. The staff at the Council on Aging wishes all of you a wonderful holiday season. The New Year will bring its challenges to the Council on Aging as we continue to advocate on behalf of seniors in Rock County. This newspaper will be used to keep you informed on issues important to you. We have enjoyed bringing this publication to you and have appreciated the positive response to it. Suggestions for the newspaper are always welcome. Have a great Holiday Season and a Happy New Year!
