Notice of Public Hearing

Take away the chill and hang out with your neighbors at the Elberta Life Saving Station. We’ll play bingo for small prizes and have other games, coffee, tea, and LaCroix/Spindrift (this is a kid-friendly and *alcohol free* [no alcohol] event). If you’d like to “MC” a Winter Friday with a program of your choice, write to programming director Paula Friedrich at paulamfriedrich@gmail.com (she is also the artist who created the flyer). Or just show up on a Friday and tell us your idea. Bring your knitting, bring a friend — and we can always use more bingo prizes! 6 to 9 pm. All are welcome.
As usual. Martin Luther King Jr. Day does not affect Republic Services’ schedule.
