It was a night to envision the future on Monday, Oct. 17 at the second town hall meeting hosted by Western Sky Community Care Center in Grant. Approximately 110 people attended the event at the Perkins County Fairgrounds. Western Sky is working towards building a new $9.2 million elder care facility in the community.

The five member Western Sky steering committee was joined during the evening by project consultant Tim Groshans, senior administrator for Community Memorial Health Center (CMHC), the nursing facility in Burwell, along with two doctors from Burwell associated with CMHC. CMHC is serving as the fiscal sponsor for Western Sky until the organization secures a 501c3 designation by the IRS. The agreement allows Western Sky to begin fund raising now, according to steering committee member Mark Bottom.
