It is with extremely sad and heavy hearts that we announce that we are CLOSED on Wednesday, January 21, 2026, as all staff will be attending the funeral for Victoria (Rocus) Bellegue, granddaughter of Centre founders Vera M. & Harry E. Calandra, and oldest daughter of Christina Calandra Rocus. In addition to being a member of the Calandra family, Victoria was also a longtime staff member here at the Centre, along with her mother and sister, Christiana (Rocus) Mohn. Please keep Victoria’s husband, daughter, parents, sister, and entire family in your prayers.
