Cleo Myers appreciates the new
mixer as well as one of our lunch guests.
A New Banner was installed and lights
replaced in the parking lot. Note – a wasp’s nest was removed from a 2nd floor window, but workers were too concerned
about the inhabitants to photograph the
extraction.

ECS is so very thankful for all the canned food that was recently received thru the annual Letter Carrier’s Food Drive. If you contributed to this worthy cause, thank you!
Our friends at First Presbyterian Church in Sharpsville, Central Christian Church and First Baptist also contribute to the pantry along with items from the Senior Center. Currently our pantry is stocked full.
