On Tuesday, April 11, the Stockbridge Area Senior Center was honored with the gift of a United States flag from the American Legion Post 510 Auxiliary. Members, staff, board of directors and guests of the Senior Center gathered for the presentation and raising of the flag. They were joined by American Legion Auxiliary members and leaders of the Village of Stockbridge and Stockbridge Township as well as the Stockbridge Chief of Police. The sun shone beautifully on the occasion as our National Anthem played and attendees sang along. Photo Credits: Kenny Minger
