The signup sheets are up for two joint functions with the Georgetown Seniors Centre. The first is golf and lunch at Blue Springs on Wednesday, Sept. 7 and on Friday, Sept. 23 we will have another joint dance at the Acton Legion. Acton and Georgetown centres both have tickets for the golf and dance. On Monday, Sept. 26 we will be descending on Mohawk before the races finish for the season. This fall they are featuring short ribs, plus two other entrees. Everyone said what a great time they had last time. Tickets are now available for all three events.
