display of holiday cheer!

this year, bringing in over $800.00. Special thanks to Denise Miller for putting the window display together.

Scholarships to Center Participants for AACC Classes, Monthly Birthday Cakes and Ice Cream, Bingo Prizes, Gardening Supplies and Plants, Flea Market Supplies, Gift Cards for Angel Tree Families, Volunteer Appreciation

Luncheon, new six foot tables, and supplementing the cost for the Thanksgiving and Holiday Luncheons at the Center. We thank Friends for their generosity and support of the services and activities at the Center.

you with someone from the waitlist. Additionally, meals are paid for based on a count of the number of people signed up, and no shows must still be paid for. Remember to mark your calendars when you sign up so you don’t forget!
