Today’s news and information gleanings from here and there.
Today’s quote … “It’s very difficult living on Social Security.” – 65-year old retiree, Barbara Woodruff, in this next avenue article: “What it’s like living on Social Security.”
ONCE AGAIN … the “hold-it-in-your-hands” newspaper, LNP – Always Lancaster has been delivered and the online version has not been. It’s 5:14 am and other online publications have been delivered, too, just not. WTH!!! But BRAVO to the tangible, “hold-it-in-your-hands” newspaper delivery people and the back shop folks who produce it, the ones who do the hard work, all night long.

Meetings you’ll want to put on your calendar for next week, include:
- October’s council meeting is slated for Monday, October 10 at 7:00 pm at the Borough Hall; look for the DRAFT agenda here.
- Tuesday’s “public conversation on community-police relations and racial violence is set for Tuesday, Oct. 11, in Columbia.” The meeting will be held at the School District office at 6:00 pm.
- Thursday, October 13 – “Committee of the Whole Board Meeting (if needed)” – We anticipate this 7:00 pm meeting at the School District office will be held; we suspect the “(if needed)” is a Website maintenance oversight.
An awesome movie next Wednesday at the Library!
