The kids are all back to school after a week off for Easter Break. We got to enjoy a little taste of all four seasons on our week off. That was quite the storm that left some residents without power for nearly 40 hours! Thank you to the power crew for braving the storm to try and restore power as soon as possible. Also, thank you to Al Traub who helped many seniors in town by removing their snow at no charge.

Many seniors in our community have now received both of their Covid-19 vaccines.

The W.P.S. Parent Council is selling hanging baskets. They have a variety to choose from, calibrachoas, geraniums, petunias, mixed planters, strawberries, and tomatoes. Orders are due April 19th and delivery will be May 7th, just in time for Mother’s Day.

The A.V. Diner is open Monday-Saturday for take out. Stop by and pick up a new take-out menu.
