Pre-K Children Flu Shots
If you have pre-K children, time is running short for you to get them flu shots. The deadline is Dec. 31, and the Department of Health says it’s a requirement. If they don’t get flu shots by the 31st, then they must be kept home from school for the duration of flu season (through March 31), unless they get the shot. Call your Generations' provider to arrange for a flu shot if you have not done so yet.
No-Freeze Shelter

Shelter clients are given first-aid supplies, warm glove and a gift card for coffee or a sandwich. Generations is proud to support this center during these very cold days. http://windhamnofreeze.com/ https://www.facebook.com/thenofreezeproject/
