Winter Weather Cancellations
Extreme weather occasionally forces the Aging & Disability Resource Center to cancel bus service, escort rides, noon meals, adult day care, or activities at Lincoln Center or the Nutrition Program dining sites.
As a general rule, if the schools are closed our services will be cancelled. When cancellations are necessary, announcements will be made on WAOW Channel 9 TV and these radio stations: WIZD 100 FM, WSPT 98 FM and 1010 AM, and WYTE 106.5 FM.
