On Wednesday, June 9, we are celebrating National Chocolate Ice Cream Day at 12:15. We are celebrating a couple days past the official National Chocolate Ice Cream Day on Monday, June 7, but nonetheless, we shall eat and enjoy the cold chocolatey mix.
We have our next Quilts of Valor Presentation coming up on Monday, June 14 (Flag Day). We will be honoring our Veterans at 1:00pm. Everyone is invited to join us for this celebration.
Beginning October 24, 2021, callers in 785 and 620 area codes must use 10-digit dialing. For example, to call Senior Center, you will need to dial 620-272-3620 or to call the Lakin Clinic it would be 620-355-7550. If you need help updating your phone numbers and contacts on your cell phone, call Shari and set up a time to get some help.
