NEW BLINDS IN EXERCISE ROOM-PLEASE READ

We were fortunate to get new blinds for the Exercise room! Old blinds were dented, bent and partially BROKEN due to people handling

them incorrectly.

The new blinds are ELECTRONIC. Please do not touch them, as they are controlled by office staff. We are hoping this will help

make them last longer.

We ask for your cooperation and understanding.

If you need the blinds adjusted, just ask the front desk volunteer, Edie or Vince.

Join us on Friday, February 21, 12:30-1:30 for the

“GEORGE GARRIS BAND” George and his crew play a little bit of

country, blues and old time Rock n Roll! Bring a friend if you’d like.

Lite Refreshments.

Mark your calendars for our upcoming fundraisers: Spaghetti dinner in April and Flower Sale in May

Coming soon: New bushes & mulch for Center. Lots of blank spac-es will be filled with hydrangeas and various other shrubs.
