TURKEY TWIST
• This Saturday, November 5, at 6:00 p.m., you are invited to our traditional early kickoff of the upcoming holiday season. But this year it’s turkey dinner with a twist: Turkey Enchiladas Casserole! Add rice and beans, a green salad, plus pumpkin pie for dessert, and you do have a delicious feast!
Only 10.00 per person; kids’ 10 and under plate, 5.00.
It looks like our short foretaste of winter will have cleared out, with milder temps and no rain forecast. So come on over, bring friends and family.

AFTER-DINNER NEWS ALERTS
• After Saturday’s Dinner, stay for the demo How to use the AED (Automated External Defibrillator) should an emergency arise. These portable, life-saving devices are designed to treat somebody experiencing sudden cardiac arrest when the heart stops beating suddenly and unexpectedly.
The combination of CPR and early defibrillation is effective in saving lives when used in the first few minutes following collapse from sudden cardiac arrest. Our AED is on hand on the wall by the kitchen door.
Also, hear all about the JVIA December Craft Fair and other updates at the JVIA meeting.
The Center is on your left at the corner.

FALL BACK!🕑
• Daylight Saving Time 2022 ends this Sunday, November 6, at 2:00 a.m. To be sure, plan on changing your clocks on the night of Saturday, November 5, turning them back an hour; you’ll “gain” an extra hour of sleep or possibly enjoy another hour out Saturday night.
Computers, TVs, and cell phones automatically update at 2:00 a.m. but you want to set all other clocks in the house back one hour.
And as our fire guys always tell us, check the batteries in the smoke alarm.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

LOOK UP!
- Early Tuesday, November 8th at 12:02 a.m. see the Beaver Blood Moon. The full moon for November 2022 happens to present a total lunar eclipse — one that you can witness with the naked eye.
The Moon stands above the horizon the whole time, so if the long-range forecast of partly cloudy stays partly, you can watch the entire eclipse. (If the slight chance of rain happens, we won’t complain. Rain in JV is almost as rare as lunar eclipses).
