With Cathy Corrigan: We would like to send our condolences to Mary our quilting lady on the passing of her husband Rod Arden. Our love and thoughts are with you.

This is the time of year when we all reflect on the things that we are thankful for. Here at the center we would like to thank all of those who volunteer in one way or another. We couldn’t do this without your help. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Wanda, Kelli, Kaye, Jo, Mary, Betty and Cathy would like to wish you all a very happy, healthy and joyous Christmas.

Just a reminder that we are closed on Dec. 24 and the 31. Happy Holidays!
