Something seemed to be "rotten in Denmark," as goes the old Shakesperian saying about suspicious circumstances.
For several months, the Price Seniors Center has been selling tickets for a raffle to win a quilt named "Red Bird" -- a very special quilt, previously won by Price Special Events Director, Marie Jager, who had now donated it to the Price Center in an effort to raise some needed cash for its on-going renovations. Raffle ticket sales had abounded. The drawing box overflowed.

She taught their daughter as choir director at Goodnight Junior High years ago. And then she played the lead role in “The Boy Friend,” which Marie directed, and came away impressing not just the Jagers, but a string of standing-room-only audiences.
And now, 30 years later, she’s coming back.

Funds needed for Price Senior Center continuing renovation
By Amanda Oskey, Newstreamz.com
From the outside, the Price Senior Center looks like an old church, but on the inside it is so much more.
Nearly ten years and $500,000 worth of remodeling and renovation has transformed the once-rundown First Christian Church into an active community. The center is used for weddings, performances, luncheons, and any type of class you can imagine, from quilting to yoga.
There is still more work to be done, and unfortunately, no funds to pay for it. Although the lower level is currently being utilized, the entire second floor is in need of renovation.
