Senior's menu correction
 
We published the wrong senior's center menu in the May issue. Visit our website for the correct menu.

That darn autocorrect again ...
 
 
Thanks to an autocorrect error, an ad ran in the May issue with incorrect information. Here is the correct information:

An evening with Denise Richards:
 
    Join Kiniski's Reef Tavern for an evening of fun, friendship, music and prizes. Denise Richards is a lady who is well known for her giving - whether it be home cooking, flowers, donations, her time or her organizational skills.
 
     Now it's her time to receive.
 
     Denise suffered a life-threatening medical emergency recently, spending over a month in the hospital and undergoing one successful surgery. She is now getting well enough for another. All this has left her and her husband Al with huge medical expenses, and people are coming together in hopes of alleviating some of that burden.
 
     Saturday, May 24, at 5 p.m., The Reef will host An Evening with Denise Richards. A percentage of proceeds from their burger and beer special will be donated to Denise. Come enjoy a raffle, live music from Dave Archer and Friends and door prizes.
