| Happy April everyone! All the elections are behind us, so we are celebrating Spring and Easter this month with images that bring back many wonderful memories from our own childhoods. We have several Easter Egg events that your little ones will enjoy, and even one that welcomes "kids of all ages". Boy Scout Troop 1899 is hosting a "Glo Bingo" this month, this is a fund raiser to send the boys to summer camp this year at Camp Crooked Creek in Kentucky. The City Temple Vendor & Craft Fair will be in full swing later on this month, and the AMVETS are hosting their "All You Can Eat Breakfast" again, you do not want to miss this! "TheOdd Couple" will be at the Alfresco Art Center, check out the dates and times. The Community Care Center is looking for volunteers to help on Saturday, April 29. Remember, new announcements are added at the bottom of the home page when we receive them, so check back often to see what's happening. |
