PRESCOTT – Make note and check your Gathering Place schedules as we are open this June, July and August. Schedules may be a bit modified but many of our regular events are still going on. As you read this you will have missed the June potluck on Tuesday, June 3. There will be no potluck in July and the next one will be a picnic Aug. 26 at Freedom Park. It already feels like summer with the rise in temperatures and summer storms predicted as I write this.
