Want to go to dinner?
Quick question: Do you like turkey? Pie? Just coming together with folks to share a meal and joy? Or do you like the idea of that being available to one and all - those with nowhere else to go; those who just don't feel like preparing their own, and those who simply enjoy attending the Community Thanksgiving Dinner?
Well, it's coming up in less than a month, with the Community Dinner's board and volunteers gearing up to feed an estimated 2,500 or more, who will walk through the doors of Friendship Hall on Thanksgiving Day, drive through the pick-up line, or have meals delivered.
You guessed it — this is a pitch.
The folks who put on the dinner each year need help. Money and volunteers are always welcome, and this year, especially, they need someone willing to train for one of the most critical jobs.
Their kitchen manager is retiring. A person or couple who would like to learn the ropes is needed, ASAP. You would not be in charge of the entire meal this year; you would instead be shadowing the kitchen manager to learn. The kitchen manager has full support from the board, as well.
So, if you have a background in restaurants, cooking, organization, ordering supplies — or a willing heart — please contact Holly Padilla at 970-729-1287 or holly.pe@hotmail.com.

Still searching ...
Keep your eyes out ... for two indoor-only cats that suddenly found themselves released outside after their owner passed away. They were released with two others from an apartment on North Third Street and Uncompahgre Avenue on Oct. 5. One of the cats was sadly hit and killed on the street. Another one (the one pictured) was successfully trapped, but advocates are trying to find the remaining two, who look like the found cat - one is shorthaired and the other longhaired. These cats are likely terrified, having never been outdoors. Please call or text 970-691-4412 or 970-210-3182 if you have information.

If you are near Ridgway, this cat got out of her carrier and got scared on Oct. 28, running off from a spay/neuter clinic at Second Chance Humane Society. She has six kittens who need her, and an indoor home waiting. Keep an eye out, and tell your friends who live in the area.
