WHAT’S HAPPENING?
BUILDING & SERVICE CLOSURES:
WOW is it cold outside this week. Stay warm and stay safe, please. This is a great time to once again, remind everyone that per our policy, all Finney County Committee on Aging services and buildings are closed when USD 457(Garden City) is closed due to bad weather. This includes Finney County Transit and all bus services and the Senior Center; all activities and meal services. We will announce weather-related closures on both local radio and western Kansas TV stations -ABC, CBS & NBC. We will also post closure notices on our Facebook pages. With the very frigid forecasts this week, please check to make sure we are here.
NOW HIRING – Finney County Transit is still looking to add a couple of part-time CDL drivers with passenger endorsement to our crew. We also will be needing a driver for our Senior Center trips in the springtime. The Senior Center is hiring a part-time kitchen aid to assist with Friendship Meals at the Center and with Meals on Wheels. This position is expected to be M-F, 8-1. A valid driver’s licenses is required and you must be able to lift 50 pounds regularly.
TAX TIME is here, again. IRS certified RSVP volunteers will once again be providing free income tax filing services this year. This service is open to all, not just to senior citizens.
