Seniors, and all others, should be careful with their personal information. Identity thieves can get your personal information by stealing wallets or purses, and your mail (bank statements, credit card statements, etc.). They will also steal the personal information you provide to an unsecured website on the Internet. They could steal information from inside your house or by going through your trash. So be careful and watch out for the other guy.

We appreciate the American Legion and VFW volunteers who placed an American flag beside each of our fallen veterans in the Ava Cemetery.
Do you need a cool, quiet place to come in and sit down and read? We have the reading room for you; so come in and try out our books.
The pinochle tournament earlier in the month had Annabelle Walker as the winner with 1004; Nellie Gobeli was second place winner with 698 and Pat Miller came in a close third with 689. Congratulations ladies!
We appreciate all our volunteers who work endlessly. We couldn’t do it without you!
Until next week, have a good one!
