Many people took advantage of the free turkeys that were given
out at our community center this past week. This generous distribution was made
possible by Friends of Wonder Valley, and we thank them.
On Saturday, November 30, author William Hillyard will be at
our Wonder Valley Community Center, 80526 ½ Amboy Road at Blower Road, at 3
p.m. to read from, discuss and sign copies of his new book “Welcome to Wonder
Valley.” Books will be available for purchase at this event.
Most events at our WVCC are sponsored by our local nonprofit
Friends of Wonder Valley. For additional information on any local event,

Handy Hint: An old
deck of playing cards can come in handy. A card can be used as a shoehorn or as
a screwdriver for tiny eyeglass screws. It can also be folded and placed under
the short leg of a wobbly table or chair to steady it.
Today’s Thought: In
1946, bikinis, Slinkys, car phones and Tupperware were all introduced to
consumers. The first mobile phone conversation took place in a car in St.
Louis, MO. The bikini, named after the nuclear tests in the Bikini Atoll lagoon
in the Marshall Islands, went on sale after debuting at a Paris fashion show. Academy
Awards included best picture “The Lost Weekend,” best actor Ray Milland and
best actress Joan Crawford. In the National Football League Championship game,
the Chicago Bears defeated the New York Giants 24-14. In the World Series, the
St. Louis Cardinals defeated the Boston Red Sox 4-3. And Karen turned four!
Until next time . . . remember to take time to enjoy the
WONDERs all around us.
