Treat yourself! On Dec. 5, Heidelberg Association for Retired Persons, better known as H.A.R.P., invites retirees to its annual Christmas party 11 a.m. in Heidelberg Church’s Fellowship Hall.

All retirees from the community are encouraged to come in from the cold and enjoy a fun afternoon of food and festivities.

Remember, you do not need to be a Heidelberg Church member to attend.

Bring a covered dish to share, along with a small cost wrapped exchange gift so you can play everyone’s favorite game called, “Now you have it. Now you don’t.”

For further information, call Katherine Blose at 610-336-0555 or Eleanor Klevenhagen at 610-841-9803.

Just a thought! Grudges are a waste of perfect happiness. Laugh when you can, apologize when you should, and let go of what you can’t change.
