Christmas dinner planned

A Christmas tradition will continue this year in Austin -- the annual Masonic Christmas Dinner at the Austin Area School. There is no cost for the dinner, which is provided by Arcana Lodge 580 and supported by Potter County Human Services.

The event is open to singles, families with economic

stresses, or anyone else who would like to enjoy a holiday meal and fellowship. Serving starts at noon and continues until 4:00 p.m.

Reservations are not required, but would be appreciated by phone at 647- 8856. That same number may be used for anyone who needs to schedule transportation.
