Anyone who helps will get their meal free that day.

We have great fellowship and a lot of fun.

We would like to thank everyone for their help and support last year and as the new year begins.

For those who haven?t visited, please come for a meal. More than likely, you will keep coming back for more.

For those who might have a program they want to share, let us know, and we can set up a day. Presenters get their meal free.

We enjoy music, trips, crafts, quilting and other adventures.

Let?s start 2015 with a great turnout for our center.

Remember if you need a gift idea, we have meal tickets for sale.
