Itâs time for that annual spring fling in Hurricane(a cleaning day)as the community center has been closed for a year due to the pandemic, and the committee has designated Monday, April 12, as the day for volunteers to meet at 9:00 a.m. to work inside and also outside on the lawn. The center will begin rentals again on May 1, 2021 as you know rentals are the primary way that the community center has funds for the upkeep of the property. Donations are always welcomed if you care to contribute to the general fund. You may call 662-550-0340 to request a spot on the rental calendar or to leave a donation. So letâs participate in this spring event for our community center!

I warned yâall last autumn of the fall back syndrome of DST on my personal life, but I did not realize that the spring DST change was such a health threat. So cheer up fellow North Mississippians as th
