Before dropping off books, please contact Tammy Caldwell, (540) 382-2349 ext. 2003 TRANSPORTATION SERVICES POLICY The senior transportation service is conducted on an as-need basis. This service is provided to local senior citizens without access to transportation. This enables individuals to participate in senior trips and special luncheons. When registering for trips or special luncheons, seniors needing to use the transportation service must state this need. Cir- cumstances may arise in which individuals with access to transportation require this service, in these cases policy will be applied at the discretion of the supervisor of senior & special populations programs. If you have any questions, contact Tammy Caldwell at (540) 382-2349 ext. 2003. TRIP TAKERS-A-BLAST FROM THE PAST Mileage for each senior trip-taker will be logged in after each trip. At the end of the year, the senior who has traveled the most miles will be awarded a prize. The winner will be announced at our annual luncheon in January. Location: Christiansburg Recreation Center
