Our Event Operations Committee is on it. The first meeting was last night, and they've already planned the first event. I promised never to forget about the Senior Citizens, and guess what? We've planned something fun for them. Grab Mom, Pops, Granny, Gramps, Auntee, and Uncle, and bring them over for some fun, music, games, and refreshments. It’s only an hour and a half, but the best hour and a half of the day. !

UPDATE: Thanks everyone!! She’s back home. 🩷

Is anyone missing a small senior adult dog? She was found at the 4-way intersection in Macon by Family Dollar last week. She is definitely spoiled … and she’s missing her peeps.

It is best to discard hard-boiled eggs used for Easter egg hunting!

Why?? Because hard-boiled eggs are more susceptible than fresh eggs to bacterial contamination because boiling removes the naturally occurring protective outer layer on the shell. Eggs used for hunting are also handled a lot, which increases the risk of bacterial contamination even more.
However, if people insist on eating their Easter eggs, it is important to observe some safe handling guidelines:

🥚Eggs must be hidden and hunted within two hours to reduce the risk of food poisoning.

🥚Hidden eggs should be protected from dirt, pets, birds, insects and other sources of bacteria.

🥚Once the hunt is over, check the eggs for cracks before returning them to the refrigerator and throw away any eggs that are cracked.
