Happy November!

November is here and I’m thankful to celebrate another holiday season with family and friends. Are you ready?  The NCNC Board has several suggestions on how to help you settle into your new neighborhood and share thanks with others. November General Meeting and Time of Giving:  We will be at the Warbirds Museum this month and in addition to socializing over a holiday dinner buffet, we will have several ways you can choose to give thanks:

Donate your time? We will have several non-profit tables set up where you can learn about ways you can give your time to needed charities.

Prefer a food drive? We are collecting non-perishable food items to benefit the El Camino Homeless Organization and ALF Food Pantry of Paso Robles. Bring your food donations to theWarbirds event and leave it at the donation table

Secret Santa to the Seniors? Give a much needed holiday gift to residents at the Paso, Atascadero or Templeton Senior Centers. Pick a name in the November meeting and bring your wrapped gift to the December General Meeting

Thrill ac hild?Participate in the Paso, Atascadero and Templeton Police Department toy drive! Select a toy from the link and direct ship to the Police Department, or bring it unwrapped to the December General meeting

Looking ahead to December, our monthly meeting will be at the festively adorned Madonna Inn on December1st. Join usf or a great plated lunch including the famous Madonna cake for dessert! This is usually our biggest general meeting of theyear and a great way to get into the holiday spirit.
