The LaVallee Senior’s Committee hosted a Coffee Gathering last Tuesday, June 30, at the newly decorated Devlin Hall. Close to 40 people attended. You can bet that a lot of the conversation was about the newly decorated Devlin Hall. The hall has been under renovation since last December. Seniors seemed very impressed with the changes. There will be a grand opening of the hall later in August. Regular bi-weekly coffee gatherings will resume in September along with other senior events.
