THE WALL

What would you do with our wall that runs alongCortez Road?  Some people like it just the way it is, some say it's too bare.  If you have an idea on how it should be painted or decorated jot down your idea and submit it to the Activities Board.  All ideas are welcome.  You can submit your idea at the office or drop it in the mailbox at the right side of the Rec Hall entrance.

It's inventory time again for items out longer than 6-8 weeks.  If you will call Jan at 792-8386 it will be appreciated. We have need of four pronged canes, shower chairs and another walker with a seat.  No need at this time for potty chairs or regular walkers. Many thanks to those who have given from those in need.
