For the fifth straight year, Merrill Lynch's office in Peachtree City will opens its doors to senior citizens so they may use the firm's telephones free of charge to call their loved ones anywhere in the world.

Approximately 75 Fayette County seniors will participate at the local office, managed by Bob Truitt.

Merrill Lynch Christmas Calls is being held Dec. 20 from 11 a.m.- 4 p.m. at the 401 Westpark Court Peachtree City location. Merrill Lynch regrets that due to the limited availability of phones, drop-ins will not be accommodated. Senior citizens must make prior arrangements to participate by calling Linda Gantert at Fayette Senior Services at 770-461-0813 before Dec. 18.
