Broken Air Conditioning Unit
The Activity Center had to close early 4 days during the month of July due to very warm
temperatures inside the Activity Center. Fitness classes and a few other programs had to be
canceled on days that the Activity Center did not close. Attendance was lower this month
because of the broken air conditioner.
