"We're here to serve the community," says Cox.  "We want to make sure they're getting served correctly, their needs are being met and that they're having a positive experience within our district."

Back by popular demand indoor roller skating returns to the Raymond Family Community Center for a few sessions this fall.

"One of the most exciting things," says Cox "is that we have roller skating coming back!"

Roller skating returns Monday, August 29 and Thursday, September 1 from 6:00 to 10:00 p.m. at the Raymond Center with more dates to follow before the ice skating season begins.
