Upcoming trips: A Christmas Carol and The Nutcracker

 

50/50 Raffle

Because Program Coordinator, Megan, is excited for the Raffle, she made a goof and forgot to divide the total by 2! This means our WINNING total is about $1200, which means you've helped raise the same amount so far for our scholarship fund! We're about $200 ahead of 2022 at this time. If you would like to purchase more tickets, you can do so at the SASC front desk and online at salineseniors.org. You can also purchase tickets at Saline Community Education's office in Liberty School, and we will be at Busch's again on Nov 3 and Dec 15, and the Saline Farmer's Market on Dec 9. Thank you so much for your support of our scholarship program!

The Nov/Dec newsletter is available here. 

Saline Area Social Services' Giving Tree

SASC is again adopting a few families in need for the holidays. In the next few weeks we will have our Giving Tree in the hallway with a tag for you to choose from. If you would like to participate in this, please select a tag (or more if you choose), purchase your gift, and return it to SASC by Thu, Dec 7. If you cannot shop but would like to participate, staff is happy to shop for you, please bring us a cash donation. Items must be purchased locally in case the families need to exchange an item.
