This past week I had the opportunity to learn how to make lefse from one of the best lefse makers in Austin.
It's true, a girl of German and Danish ancestry can learn to make this Norwegian delicacy with the right teacher.
We are now on the lookout for used lefse grills and other equipment so we can make it here at the Center closer to the holidays as a fund-raiser.
; I think it would be fun to get a bunch of our staff and volunteers together and have a lefse-making party in the kitchen. Yah, sure, you betcha!
; Today is the last day for advance ticket sales for the Hormel Retirees Breakfast. Breakfast will be served at 9 a.m. and will consist of sausage gravy on homemade biscuits, a fruit cup, juice and coffee. The cost is $4 in advance and $5 at the door.

We can always use volunteers to serve and clean up, so if you would care to help, it would be greatly appreciated.

If your doctor has recommended you have your blood pressure checked on a regular basis, we offer blood pressure checks on Mondays and Thursdays from 9 a.m. until 11 a.m.
; We are always looking for substitute nurses. If you are interested, we'll put you on our volunteer list.
