Its hard to tell if we are getting a sound system installed or if the Fette Electronics boys are really dedicated to our Annual Easter Egg Hunt!

Thanks to the generous support of The Hannah Lips Foundation, Buckham West Senior Center is getting a sound system installed in the Putrah Commons to better serve the senior community.

This enhancement will allow us to expand our programming while ensuring everyone can fully participate, hear clearly and feel included in every event.
