Drivers age 55 or better must attend both classes to receive the state mandated three-year automobile insurance reduction. Many insurance companies are giving insurance reductions to drivers age 50+ with the same attendance requirements. Those less than age 55 should check with their insurance company to see if they are entitled to the three-year insurance reduction. Class enrollment is limited to 25.

 

Culture Day Veteran's Panel, Wednesday, May 22 at 1 p.m. In honor of Armed Forces Day, there will be an informal patron panel discussion of those who served in the U.S. military to share stories and to talk about the good and challenging experiences faced while in service. All of us have benefitted from the dedication and sacrifice of our uniformed men and women (and their families), but many of us know very little of what life was actually like in the military. If you are interested in being a part of the panel please let us know, and also feel free to bring in any pictures or memorabilia to show the group. This should be a very interesting event.

       

May Birthday Bash Karaoke, Friday, May 31 at 1 p.m. Karaoke Jockeys Sam and Dave are back with their fantastic selection of songs, so come sing along! You are sure to find something to suit your musical tastes. Individual and group performances are encouraged! Remember you do not have to be celebrating a birthday to come celebrate with us. Cake and beverage served. Please register for this program by calling 898-3807.
