From one of our local pharmacies: Sultan Pharmacy & Natural Care is now providing Moderna Covid vaccines. Please tell customers to call and make a reservation to receive one if they would like. We will also be providing the flu shots starting the end of the month so the vaccine covers the end of the flu season as well. Flu shots right now would not cover the end of the flu season.

Help us stock the shelves for the VOA! Drop off any shelf stable items at the Gold Bar Elementary School through October 18th. 419 Lewis Ave. Gold Bar.
