Battle Creek Retirees' Association: The Battle Creek Retirees' Association Summer Picnic was well attended again this year with about 400 retirees enjoying a meal together and sharing good times. Prizes were raffled off as always and retirees delighted in winning. Thanks to the company, a variety of Kellogg products were handed out to retirees. Thanks also to those who organize this annual event, which will be at the Marshall Activity Center again next year. All nearby retirees are encouraged to attend the Christmas Gala, December 12, at McCamly Plaza. This is a very festive event and helps us celebrate another year together.
