📣 KEEPING YOU INFORMED❗️
The John E. Alexander Community Center is currently undergoing exterior painting. On Friday morning, crews will be painting the front of the building, which requires covering the doors and windows. As a result, the facility will not be accessible during that time.
While an exact start time has not been confirmed, we anticipate the work will be completed by noon.
We appreciate your patience and understanding as we make improvements to the outside of our facility. Thank you for your support!
