⚠️ Program Update – March 11

Due to the uncertainty surrounding the weather expected on Wednesday, we will be cancelling all Rouge Valley Days activities scheduled for March 11.

The Alzheimer’s presentation will be rescheduled for a later date, and we will share the new details as soon as they are confirmed.

We are hoping the freezing rain will not be arriving as predicted, but either way, we encourage everyone to stay safe.

Take care, and we look forward to seeing everyone next week! ❄️
