Anchor Point Senior Center revs up for holiday bazaar

I think the weather man has taken the last couple of weeks off and is now playing his recording from his prior airing. We seem to keep getting the same weather over and over. I have been chanting one of those oldies but goodies. It sounds a little something like this; "Rain, rain go away, come again some other day." I even tried replacing the word year with day, but it hasn't helped one little bit.

Have a great weekend and be safe.

Attention, homeschoolers

There is interest in forming a group for getting together for sports. Once formed, the group may gather at a local gym for sporting activities for exercise and fun. Homeschoolers are especially targeted, but all children will be welcome. For more information or to sign up, call Melissa Martin at 235-7842.
