Sugar River Transit – A New Transportation Service Coming to Your Community

Seniors need transportation for many reasons. Mainly to get where they need to go, however it may be because they no longer drive, they need help in accessing services, and even because they want or need socialization. In rural Green County, seniors who don’t drive may find themselves isolated and disconnected from the communities where they have lived and worked for many years. Some seniors even say, “If you limit your driving, you limit your life.” We are here to help!

The Shufflers fought back to take a 9-point lead, but the Eagles caught the wind beneath their wings and put up 24 more points in the 4th frame than the Shufflers did, giving them a 15-point lead. Then the Screaming Eagles extended their talons and dove in for the kill.
