A note to our readers
Due to the large number of event cancellations brought about by the coronavirus, we are limiting the daily Datebook listing until the crisis is resolved.
Many of the current listings for meetings and events in the Datebook were submitted weeks in advance, and in many cases, we have been unable to verify whether all those meetings and events are still scheduled to take place.
Meetings and events will not be listed in Datebook unless a group or organization sends us a confirmation by email, [email protected], or in writing to The Sentinel-Record Datebook, 300 Spring St., Hot Springs, AR 71901.
