It is nothing new to be reading that the price of groceries is going through the roof.  Inflation has been something that we've lived with all of our lives but recently prices just seem to be out of control and getting higher as we speak.  It doesn't seem to be that long ago that a can of Campbell's Chicken Noodle Soup at WalMart in Butte was less than 50 cents.  It is well over a buck now and this is true from soup to, well, nuts.

September is no time to slow down at Butte's Belmont Senior Center. Let's take a look at some of their monthly offerings as well as some things they have planned especially for early fall. An early reminder that the Bemont will be closed on Monday, September 2nd for Labor Day.
