LETTERS TO THE EDITOR To the editor: I am writing to let you know that the grounds at the Community Center are beautiful. I am certain we have the most beautiful place to meet. It is very warm and cozy and has an inviting atmosphere. Lenny Simmons always makes sure that the leaves and pine needles are kept away from the doors so that no one falls. Some of our guests love to come and walk around before lunch. They really enjoy it up here. The inside is always clean and set up just right for us. We really appreci ate all that Lenny does for us. Espe cially this time of year when it looks wonderful up there. Thank you and please let Lenny know how much we appreciate him and all his work.
