With the pandemic impacting many seniors this year, staff members at the Norman P. Murray Center are serving up cheer by hosting a special "Crushing on our Seniors" drive-through event on February 11.

Designed to show appreciation for the folks the center serves, staff members will hand out a free Valentine's candle and treat to seniors 55 and older from 11 am to noon in the community center parking lot.
