IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!
Starting Monday, the heroes at the Battle Creek Family YMCA with the support of the Albion-Homer United Way will be offering emergency relief day camp at Kids 'N' Stuff! This is an amazing service they are providing to ensure the children of essential personnel have quality care while the schools are closed. We are so happy that our lonely museum will get some play time during our shutdown!
Here's what you need to know:
- The museum is still closed to the public. KNS staff are checking messages, but not answering phones. If you need to talk to someone about the day camp, call the Battle Creek Family YMCA number on the flyer.
- Both the Battle Creek Family YMCA and Kids 'N' Stuff are very serious about safety and hygiene. The museum is getting sanitized every day and every precaution is being taken to keep all kiddos and staff healthy!
Continue to be safe, wash your hands, and practice your social distancing as much as possible!
EDIT: The flyer also lists Ismon House as a location. The day camp is just at Kids 'N' Stuff.
The Recorder would like to thank our writers and support staff for their hard work and dedication during these uncertain times. We hope to continue to serve Albion and the surrounding communities with valuable news and articles of interest from week to week.
