10 The Community Christmas Dinner in Havre is an annual holiday event that really does bring the community together for a traditional Christmas meal. Each year hundreds of people from all walks of life are fed, either at the dinner or with a meal delivered to their home and, one year, travelers snowbound in town were bused to the event by the local transit system. Organized for the last decade by the Jerry and Penny Bergren family, this year Tom Farnam, manager of Havre’s Eagles Club, volunteered to spearhead the event with a group of co-organizers and an ever-ready band of volunteers which flock to help this event. A traditional Christmas meal of turkey, mashed potatoes, dressing, gravy, roll and an assortment of vegetables, with pumpkin pie for dessert, will be served from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Eagles Club at 202 1st
Street. Anyone wanting a meal delivered can call the North Central Senior Center during regular business hours between Dec. 16 and Dec. 23 at 265-5464. The meal is free, though donations are appreciated and go toward funding the next year's meal. For more information about the dinner or volunteering, call Tom at 265-9551.
