Not Feeling Well? Please Stay Home!

If you are not feeling well, we ask that you stay home regardless of your vaccination status.

Think you have a cold?  Throat feeling sore?  Have a new cough?  Just feeling “under the weather”?

Please stay home!  You will be helping other Senior Center members as well as the Senior Center staff stay healthy by keeping out of the Senior Center and staying home until you are feeling better.
