With almost 30 people in attendance, the house was pretty full. I would like to give a big thank you to Judy Bastille, Terri Emerson and Carol Peebles for being on the refreshment committee and setting up all the food after the performance. I would also like to thank everyone who brought in goodies for the refreshments after the performance — Terri Emerson, Stanley and Shirley Farrar, Mary Gray, Elaine Stone, Kay Mitchell, Cathy Honeywell, Sandi Tarbell, Carol Peebles and Gloria Ballantine. Everything tasted absolutely delicious. On Tuesday, Sept. 20, we will be hosting our VNA foot clinic. Appointments are necessary for the foot clinic. Each appointment is $20 and is paid directly to the VNA. If you would like to schedule an appointment, please call the center today.
