From the desk of the Director…

WELCOME BACK!!!!

I cannot tell you how excited we are to finally being opening our doors for activities again. I want to make sure that everyone carefully reads the Welcome Flyer on page 3. I

would like to let you know a few other things that have changed:

1. At this time the water fountain has been removed. We are waiting on a water bottle filler to replace it. So please bring a drink with you to the Center.

2. Also please note that you must reserve a spot for activities you would like to attend.

3. At this time we are asking that no one congregates at the Center if they have not re- served a spot for an activity.

4. At this time our hours for activities will be Monday-Friday: 10:00 am-2:00 pm and staff will be in the building Monday –Friday: 8:00 am—3:00 pm. These hours will be

reviewed in August and may change.

5. Also activities may not be on the days and times you remember . This is due to the hours of operation and they may change as hours change.

Cannot wait to see you all!
