The big news around the center this week has been the great success of the annual bazaar and rummage sale held last Saturday. Thanks go to all the talented seniors who crafted such wonderful sale items, to those who volunteered their time to work on Saturday and to the entire community for the great response. It certainly was a busy, and at times very crowded, day for all involved.
