RIDE OUR “COOL CAT” FLOAT IN THE CHRISTMAS PARADE On Sunday, Dec. 1, we are going to enter a float in the College Grove Christmas Parade. Our theme is: “We’re not Old Birds — We are Cool Cats!” And, to illustrate the message, our float will be decked out with two 7-foot tall figures — one of a bird, the other of a cat. The larger-than-life statues were formed by Sarah and her neighbor for a Farmer’s Market project. They are too cool! We hope that several members will want to ride the float, and that many others will be there to cheer us from the street. We will gather at the Center at 12:15. Be sure and dress warmly, and bring a lap blanket if need be. If it rains, or the temperature dips below 30°, we will cancel.
