Reghan’s Remarks Happy September Everyone!! You guys know I always do a fact of the month so with that being said … September is the only month with the same number of letters in its name as the number of the month: it is the ninth month and has nine letters!

Well, it’s the last month of Summer and we have some fun things planned here at the Knowles Center. Starting with our Day Trips we are going to Plaza Mariachi and The Grilled Cheeserie. We also have a BIG volunteer opportunity coming up for September 11 so, if you are interested in a day of giving back, please call or sign up on the flyer to help with this event!! A few days to remember will be September 4th and September 15th as the Knowles Center will be CLOSED on these days. We also will not have a First Monday Lunch. Instead, we will be celebrating September with a Fish Fry on Monday, September 18th at NOON. Please let us know if you plan to attend so we can plan accordingly!

We have some great awareness classes this month so make sure you read over the calendar and attend all the classes that are of interest to you! Finally, thank you all for making the Knowles Center such an amazing and loving place!

Happy September!!
