Above: The crowd was large and excited for the Annual Volunteer Dinner and Annual Meeting. This is our way of showing thanks to all those that volunteer at the center. Without all those that give their time we simply couldn't have such a

great center for everyone to enjoy. THANK YOU ALL.

In these HOT

summer months

remember to check on your friends

and neighbors.

Without proper air

conditioning/cooling

during very hot days

homes can heat to

dangerous levels.

Remember:

We have a special

presentation on Monday, August 19th at 9:30am on

Personal Situational Awareness

presented by Dr. Pat

Thornton. Please try to attend and

bring a friend!

Above: Executive Director, Brenda Grimsley presented the Board Chairman, Vernon Brooks, with a special “Worlds Best” Volunteer Award for all of his many

years of devotion to the Senior Center at this years Volunteer Appreciation event.
