It will soon be time to get your 3 or 4 year old kids registered for Preschool.

We will have about 1200 food boxes  and gallons of milk to give to anyone who comes to pick one up.  This distribution will be held at the Rand Center parking lot on Wednesday, February 10, from 10 AM until they are gone. They are free to anyone. Included in the box will be produce, dairy, and meat.  Please spread the word to families, neighbors, churches, organizations, etc.  This is a USDA program to assist our communities during this pandemic time.

The next meeting is planned for Febr. 11th, at 6 Pm, at the Eagle’s Club.
