This is a reminder that we are closed for August except for Blood Drives, VNA foot clinics, drive-thru meals, Miracle Ear and special events. When we reopen in September, we hope to see everyone there with their favorite mask on. The kitchen staff is looking to start up our monthly Saturday dinner in September. It is planned as a drive-thru. Watch for updates. When we reopen, masks will continue to be mandatory during the pandemic and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and universal guidelines are suggested for all members all the time to protect you and me. The center is for “our members” first and foremost. We thank you for your cooperation and patience on the matter.
The center is planning to begin Bingo in September and we are still working on the details.
