Dear Lansing Seniors,

Due to the financial constraints of the Village at this time, I am currently unable to continue hosting a monthly luncheon. Our December luncheon will be the last one until further notice. I sincerely apologize, however it is simply impossible to continue at this time.

Sincerely,
Mayor Norm Abbott
