Changes for the senior Harvester boxes: We are going to continue to distribute the boxes however there is a delivery change; we will not get the boxes until the third Friday, and you can pick them up on the fourth Monday. This is a permanent change going forward. The volunteers will be delivering on the fourth Monday. You do need to pick up your boxes within two weeks from the delivery date as we do have others that are on our waiting list. If you do not pick up your box for two months you will be removed from the list so as others that need the boxes can get them.
I am open to all suggestions for activities and or outings. Come and enjoy the fun and activities with us.
