August events in Advance

Posted Wednesday, August 4, 2010, at 7:45 AM

This Monday, August 2, 2010 photo of the new Cross Trails Medical/Dental Center in Advance shows the progress that Wesbecher Construction is making toward an October opening. The concrete work for the driveway and sidewalks is just visible to the left.

As August throws 100-plus temperatures at the region, life in the small town of Advance continues (albeit more slowly!)

Events in our town are as follows:

Thursday, Aug. 5, 6 p.m. - Advance Senior Community Center Board of Directors - Senior center building on C and Poplar.

Tuesday, Aug. 10, 7 p.m. - Advance Community Library Board of Directors - Library facility in old R-IV Administration Building on Highway C next to old gym.

Thursday, Aug. 12, 7 p.m. - Advance R-IV School Board - New offices of superintendent - New high school annex wing.

Monday, Aug. 16, 6 p.m. - Advance Board of Aldermen - City Hall, Gabriel Street, across from new Cross Trails.

The photo of the new Cross Trails Clinic is a good example of stimulus money properly used. I don't see how anyone could disagree with that statement - especially when the figures show how under-served Southeast Missouri is in the field of health services.
