VOLUNTEER CORNER: Hello Dear Seniors, What a "COLD" winter we are having this season. It is so cold it's even hard to want to get out in it, but try to stay as active as you can even if you don't get out as much as you would like to. When you are out of your home, please dress warm & be careful. I don't know about you, but as long as it is "SUNNY" out, I can take any kind of weather!! I'm glad it is March; spring is not too far away or is it??? The March turkey dinner/birthday celebrations will be held in: Atlanta on March 14, Lewiston on March 20, and Hillman on March 28.
