Whew, what a rainstorm we had yesterday! Looks as if we are getting our Jan. thaw. At UMEM we are celebrating that Bunny Moore (Salem Thrift Shop Manager) will be back at work today after having surgery. Welcome back, Bunny!! This is the week we will be opening our Warming Center as part of the Franklin County Energy Resource Team effort to help residents conserve heating fuel. We will be open 10-3 each Wednesday through the end of March for folks to come in and spend the day. They can turn the heat down in their home and stay warm near our wood furnace. We have painted the area and done some general "sprucing-up" and put in comfortable chairs, a carpet, tables and chairs and new lighting. We will have coffee, etc. in the morning and will serve a soup and sandwich lunch and have snacks available all day. There will be games, puzzles, books, magazines, craft materials, a sewing area and opportunities to do projects. This week we will be packing health kits for Haiti. The community is a buzzin' so we hope to have a good time on Wednesday.
till next time... Kay
