presented on the third Wednesday of the month at 10:00a and 1:00p. An AARP
driving class was held with 12 people attending. A couple sets of the bean
bag/corn hole game have been purchased for the Senior Center. We’ll need to
determine a good time to have them set up in the facility. Jenny has had several
requests for a DECKO party so that may take place sometime during the
Christmas season.
