The annual membership campaign is underway and so far, we’ve exceeded expectations and are looking at a record year again. Dues are $15 and expire next August.
An office manager position is available. The job involves basic data entry and bookkeeping, secretarial and management, skills, scheduling, etc., with wage DOE.
We need sheet pans 18 x 24 inches, and food service quality. If any are in your garage, we could use them here.
Sign up at the center for computer/cell phone literacy classes. Bring your grandparents. Welcome to the 21st century!
See’s Candy is in! Due to increases in production costs, prices have taken a substantial increase. Prices are posted at the center and are below retail. We offer this as a service to our seniors. They make great gifts even though yours truly prefers choco-peanutbutter in an orange wrapper.
