Ms. Salazar gave an extensive list of possible services and resources available to Seniors in Southern Illinois.

Linda , Dean, and the band members are trying to carry on the legacy left by Jerry Piper. They provide music, a chance to see old friends and make new ones.

Good music, good performers, and a great time.
