From Toledo Senior Center, this plea: Please put something in the column about a meeting with the Lewis County Commissioners 12:30 p.m.Wednesday (November 30, 2016).
The (Lewis County Senior) Centers are on the chopping block as the Commissioners plan their funding for 2017.
There is a strong possibility of closing the doors if they (the commissioners) decide to chop the funding. It will be ugly for the Centers. So we would like to get people here to show the commissioners that we care for and want to keep our Center open.
This has a HUGE impact on the future of the center. It is important for as many people to show up and show their support as possible.
Thanks.
Pass the word. See you there.
