Not too early to put it on the calendar and spread the word: This year’s Rotary holiday celebration and Christmas dinner for senior citizens in town will be held on Wednesday, December 6. The event is Rotary's gift to our seniors -- there is no charge.

The annual gala features a turkey dinner home-cooked by Rotarians and table service by happy elves from the Northfield Middle High School Interact and the Norwich Rotaract Clubs, along with Rotarians.

The event will be at the Northfield Elementary School. Dinner service will begin at 6 p.m.

Rides can be arranged through advance reservation at the Northfield Senior Center at 485-8112. Reservations for the dinner are encouraged, but not required.
