The Patrick Henry Hays Senior Center located at 401 Pershing Boulevard in North Little Rock will be closed next week: Wednesday, September 6 through Friday, September 8 for the installation of new HVAC units funded by the North Little Rock Community Development Block Grant CARES Act (CDBG-CV) program, which is intended to prevent, prepare for, and respond to the spread of COVID-19. According to the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), “Ventilation and filtration provided by heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning systems can reduce the airborne concentration of SARS-CoV-2 and thus the risk of transmission through the air.” The replacement of the HVAC equipment will meet the goals of the CDBG-CV program by improving air quality and air circulation in the Patrick Henry Hays Senior Center.

Santa will take a break from his summer vacation to take photos and make sure children are on the right path to the “nice” list.

The Christmas in July event will coincide with Third Friday Art Walk in the Argenta Arts District, a free event during which participating locations display art by local artists and participants can have their passports stamped.
