Hello, November. This is an important week. Voting is a fundamental duty for all citizens, and I encourage you to get out to vote.

“TO HALLOWEEN or not to Halloween.” That is the question. Whatever you choose, be safe, wash your hands and don’t eat too much candy!

I ENJOYED driving my 1969 4-door Rambler in high school. I remember rolling down the windows to enjoy the fresh air when I was going at top speed – 60 miles an hour. I wish I had it back.

If you like old cars, the Chapin Baptist Church at 950 Old Lexington Hwy is the place to go on Saturday, Nov. 14, from 10–3 pm. It is a free event. If you want your car in the competition, you might win. Call Wade Bozeman at 803-513-9899 or wadebozeman@ymail.com

Old car enthusiasts get together at Car and Coffee every 2nd Saturday each month at the parking lot of AMC Classic Harbison 14, at 122 Afton Court in Columbia. They next meet Nov. 14, 7:30– 10:30 am.

Many families need help with food and othernecessities. Please find a local food donation site such as Sharing God’s Love in Irmo and We Care in Chapin.

THE TOWN of Irmo now has 47 new radios for its officers thanks to a Justice Assistance Grant. This is good news for the incredible officers who serve in Irmo.
