We appreciate all of our volunteers.  Without you, we could not effectively operate the Center.

Come by and check out a book to take and read, and return to the Center so others may participate; or you can put a puzzle together, or shoot a game of pool for five cents or play a game of pitch.  Speaking of pitch, if you would like to join our tournament, please come and eat with us on Monday, November 28 and then play in our pitch tournament beginning at noon.  Prizes will be awarded for the top three winners.

The OATS Committee will meet at our center on Tuesday around noon.  The Grace Health Care will be here for the foot clinic on Thursday, December 1.  The driver’s exam will take place in the basement on Thursday and the county health department will conduct a blood pressure clinic at 9:30 on Thursday.

Until next week, have a good one!
