A note from Liaison Billy Caron-
Dear Seniors,
I am looking forward to honoring all of you this month at the Older American’s Month Celebration. We have so much to be thankful to our elderly for. I know that I am personally thankful to my Grandmother and for all that she had done for me while growing up. I am blessed to know so many of our seniors in Town. I thank you for all that you have done for our great community,
our country and I know that each of us has so much to be thankful for in our personal lives.
