First Friday luncheon
The monthly First Friday luncheon at the Mapleton Methodist Church is scheduled for Nov. 2 at 11:30 a.m.
The luncheon promises to be a fun luncheon. The October luncheon was a pizza and salad bar feast, and who knows what the chefs will prepare for November, but everyone will be thankful for this special fall meal. The chefs are planning an enjoyable lunch for everyone.
While the food is always delicious, the real joy is being with long-time friends as well as making new friends sharing family updates, stories and memories. Remember there is no charge for the lunch, but donations will be accepted.
Senior luncheon
On Monday, Nov. 5, at 11:30 a.m., the Mapleton, Chapman and Castle Hill Senior Citizens group will hold their next meeting.
