While temperatures seem to be tapering off throughout much of the state, including central Illinois, the Christian County Senior Center reminds the senior community, as well as the general population, that if dangerously high temperatures should return, the center will serve as a cooling center and provide bottled water thanks to the support of community sponsors.

Christian County Senior Center executive director John Heldman explains that thanks to the generosity of several businesses in the county, seniors and community members will be able to stay cool with air conditioning and cold water this summer.
