For those who are members of the 5 Year Club, the party will be here at Volk Packaging on Saturday, September 11. Please save the date, as we would like everyone who has been here at least 5 years to attend. We have an incredible 18 honorees this year so it should be a great night of celebration. Invitations will be handed out in early summer.

It is getting warmer, so I am sure many of you would love to take your masks off. Bring us your vaccine card showing that you have been administered at least the first COVID vaccine and you will be allowed to take off your mask. Also, if you have had both shots and would like your vaccine card laminated, Kara or Atoka would be happy to do that for you. The few people who had COVID and recovered can also remove their masks if they like.
