To err is human and to forgive is divine, as the saying goes.
I have promoted Martin Senior Center’s Thanksgiving Luncheon event wrong twice, but the third time must be a charm, or you just have to come, see, and eat on Friday, Nov. 20, at 11:30 a.m. at your own risk.
Here goes the real information: Friday, Nov. 20, at 395 Walker St. Cost: $15 per person ($12 for seniors 80 and older. The menu includes brisket, turkey, ham, dressing, many sides, drinks and desserts.
There will be giveaways and prizes in each activity, including bingo, a coloring contest, trivia, door prizes, and a raffle.
For reservations, call (936) 594-2625.

•Last week I went to eat lunch in Huntsville at the Grand Buffet and saw a friend and former District Governor of District 2S-21 Lions International. He told me he was bringing the Texas Lions Club Eye Tester to our health fair on Saturday, Nov. 14.
Seeing is believing. In just 20 seconds, this 10,000-dollar piece of equipment can test your vision and tell you everything you ever wanted to know about your vision. I used it and had my eyes tested also.
The test is free and the Trinity Health Fair is Saturday, Nov. 14, at the Trinity Community Center. You should not miss this opportunity to get your vision tested for free. At this fair there will be other free health tips and information that will make your life better.
See you at the MSSC Thanksgiving Luncheon.
