Michigan Law regarding Snow on Vehicles
On the day of our big snow
storm, December 12th, I
happened to read an article on snow
removal from vehicles that I was not aware
of. So I thought I would share it with all
of you. Did you know that if you have snow
piled on top of your roof while driving that
it is against the law?? I did not know that
even though I always remove it since it
covers up the rear window when you’re
driving. And, you are supposed to remove
snow and ice from your windshield, all
other windows, tail-lights and headlights.
Just thought I would remind you
all since this winter is supposed
to be rather snowy and let’s face
it, tickets are expensive.

Hamburg Seniors Share...
Bulletin Board for December It’s still the Holidays and we’re sure you have pictures
of the sled under the Christmas Tree or pictures of your
family sliding down the hill on their new sleds from
Santa! Bring those in to share with everyone
……….even those of your little munchkins playing in
the snow!! There must be many old photos tucked in
albums or boxes in your homes. These monthly themes
are a wonderful reason to look through your collections
again and pull out a picture or two to share with us.
As always, all photos will be returned at the end of each
month in the large envelope on the lower left corner of
the photo board located next to our library. You are also
welcome to suggest themes for upcoming
months as well!

Floor Waxing
In case you did not pay attention to the calendar, we are going to be closed on Friday, January 27 all
day. I have a floor waxing company coming in to strip and
re-wax the linoleum floors throughout the senior center. I
know it’s winter and they are just going to get yucky again but I
finally have found another company that does this type of
work. It’s taken awhile but now that I found them I plan on having them come in either quarterly or every 4 months to maintain the
floors properly. The floors need a good 24 hours at least to cure
before we have people walking all over them hence a Friday closure!!
I honestly cannot wait to have pretty floors again !!! :)
Miracle Ear Janis from Miracle Ear is
changing the day she is usually here. She will be here on or before: Monday, March 20,
2017. No appointment is necessary however if you need
a full hearing test we need prior notice so she can bring all
her equipment.
