MT. MORRIS — On April 18, 100 Women Who Care of Ogle County donated $8,600 to the Mt. Morris Senior and Community Center. This award was gratefully received by Melissa Rojas, the center’s executive director. Of the five possible recipients of the evening, Melissa gave compelling reasons that a donation to the center would provide needed support to the community and beyond. Seniors are a growing segment of our population and supportive services are continuously becoming a vital need. Plans for the donation include a computer lab to provide instruction and assistance for those who need help navigating our ever-expanding online world. Melissa will be seeking computer savvy volunteers who can help support, guide and instruct. The center is located on 9 E. Front St. in Mt. Morris.
