T.E.A.M. RESIDENT COUNCIL had a super festive Christmas luncheon in December. We thank Drucilla Ray of the UT Extension service for teaching us some great, inexpensive holiday gifting ideas. Everyone got to take home a holiday food mix bag, a door prize and a goody bag.

The next meeting is Tuesday, January 12, from 10 a.m.-12 p.m. at the HRS main office community room, 235 West Jackson Street. To kick off New Year’s resolutions, staff from the Putnam County Health Department will be teaching line dancing lessons. Line dancing is not only a lot of fun, but great exercise! Don’t dance? We need people on the side cheering us on! A pot luck lunch will be served afterward, so feel free to bring your favorite dish. All residents are very welcome to attend. In the event of bad weather, the meeting will be moved to Tuesday, Jan. 19, in conjunction with a resident council planning meeting.

Resident Council will have a planning meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 19, from 10 a.m.-12 p.m. The council will be hearing ideas and setting plans/goals for 2016. Everyone is welcome to come. In the event of bad weather on the 19th, the meeting will be cancelled.
