Tickets can be purchased at Albert Lea-Freeborn County Chamber of Commerce, Home Federal Bank, the Albert Lea Convention and Visitors Bureau and Senior Resources. You’ll enjoy appetizers, lots of laughs and great piano fun while helping to continue funds for the resource information that Freeborn County seniors of all ages need.

Freeborn County Fair helpers: Let’s go to the Freeborn County Fair and help on Senior Day (July 31) as a wheelchair escort around the grounds with residents of St. John’s Lutheran Home. Call 473-1028 for details; there will be no cost to the volunteers and a fair pass is not required.

Reading Partners and MN Reading Corps: Children need an audience when they read aloud. Beginning Sept. 17 adults of any age can be that person who encourages a child’s success in school through increased reading skills. Call Linda Bottelson at 383-1466 for more information and to volunteer. Your presence will mean so much.
