CRIER Newsletter August 2025

August activities will say goodbye to summer and hello to the fall season. We have several new activities we are looking at for this fall that include performing arts workshops, virtual reality, and live performances. Our transportation program is off to a good start and remains a priority as we identify those who have mobility challenges and require transportation to attend our events. If you know of anyone who would be interested, please call 262-642-2266.
