Remembering April 19, 1995

Nearly thirty years ago, our city, state, and nation were changed forever by an unimaginable domestic terrorist attack. Our community lost 168 lives that fateful day, but they are not forgotten. It is important we continue to honor and remember those who did not make it out of the Alfred P.

Members of the Golden Age Center are enjoying the Spring weather! However, we have had to practice our tornado and fire escape plans. Be sure your family also has such a plan!The senior center is decorated for Easter as we celebrate another opportunity to be with family.

The mirror doesn't lie

With warm weather comes a horrible task. Swimsuit shopping is one of my lifetime top ten most humiliating actions only second to having my normally quiet child telling the person behind us on the grocery checkout line that his mommy wears really big underwear (using hand gestures). For no reason!
