Hi everyone! I hope you’ve all had a good week. Things were really quiet at the center last week. CenterPoint found a leak at the building and closed us down for repairs. We got a plumber to come in and make the needed repairs but it took a while. We reopened on Friday. Sure glad to have it all fixed. Vernon Brickman delivered our meals on wheels on Friday. Thanks Vernon! Susan Shrader and Margie Smith both brought in best choice labels. And money was received from the sale of a garage sale item. Thank you all for your donations. Connie George made a donation in memory of Frank Strack. Thank you, Connie! Connie also renewed her membership. We’re glad she did. Here’s our menu for the next few days. Call us at 623- 4511 for a meal to go, or to have one delivered call before 10.
