1st Quarter Newsletter, 2026
I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and
a Happy New Year. It is hard to believe that
2025 is over and we are rolling into 2026,
where does the time go. We made a lot of
changes in 2025, new access ramps for easy
entrance into the building, new bingo
machine and flash boards, upgraded kitchen
equipment, and hired a new kitchen
manager, Julia Hyatt. If you have not seen
the new bingo equipment, stop by on a
Friday night and see what it is all about.
The new start time for bingo is 6:30 p.m.
Also, if you have not met Julia, please stop
by and introduce yourself and try one of her
delicious dishes
