The committee decided that the accordion player and meatballs will return next year. Dave Stechholz said the committee signed papers to return to the Christ of Savior Lutheran Church next year. There was a suggestion that we hold a pancake breakfast, a dinner, or something similar at the new senior center sometime in January or February.

LAMR Members Directory will not be able to be passed out at the breakfast next week. Many thanks to Pat Zucal for all his work on the directory, which will soon be available to members.

Today's presentation was given by Linda Holman of Livonia Cares, which is a group of local churches that pool their resources to help city residents find food assistance.  The City of Livonia has now put a link on their website that lists places to help people looking for food assistance. Linda passed out several pieces of literature that list many places and phone numbers that people could use to find help with housing. See details HERE.

Linda stated that there is a problem if people can’t get to food assistance locations.

The meeting ended with Greg Greene's jokes.  

We hope to see everyone next Wednesday at 8:00 AM for breakfast at George's Senate Coney Island on Haggerty Road.
