We Need Your Help!
Please remember to register in advance for all meals, programs and trips. For our daily lunches, please call no later than 9:30 am to sign-up so that we can easily accommodate everyone. If you come every day and would like to be added on an ongoing basis, let us know and we can set that up, however, we ask that you call to cancel if you cannot make it. This helps our kitchen staff and we greatly appreciate your cooperation. Please remember to check into the computer system too! We need a record of all attendance to receive funding.
