A special thank-you to Meritrust Credit Union for sponsoring our Employee of the Month recognition program.

Patriotic spirit is on full display at Meadowlark’s Monarch building, where festive banners now adorn the balconies in honor of the season.

Installed Memorial Day weekend, the banners will remain up through the Fourth of July, serving as a colorful reminder of the holidays and traditions that bring us together.

This year’s display feels especially meaningful as our nation looks ahead to America’s 250th anniversary in 2026. As we begin celebrating this historic milestone, we’re proud to honor the people, places, and shared values that have shaped our country for nearly two and a half centuries.

Residents in the Kimball neighborhood gathered May 13 to celebrate five May birthdays with cake, ice cream, and plenty of fellowship. The gathering honored Betty, Judy, Janice, Sharon, and Joleen, pictured wearing festive flower crowns. Happy May Birthday!
