WARM TODAY, IN THE 40'S.

THE GANNON CENTER FOR COMMUNITY MENTAL HEALTH BOARD HELD A MEETING YESTERDAY TO FURTHER DISCUSS THE PLIGHT OF THE CENTER. JACKSON COUNTY'S FIVE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD MET AT THE JACKSON COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OFFICE AND TOOK PART IN THE MEETING BY CONFERENCE CALL.
THE BOARD SPENT SOME TIME DISCUSSING OPTIONS IN LIGHT OF INADEQUATE FUNDING BEING RECEIVED FROM DUBUQUE AND JACKSON COUNTIES. THE GANNON CENTER THIS YEAR CLOSED THEIR ANDREW-JACKSON CARE CENTER NORTH OF ANDREW AND HAVE AN OFFICE IN MAQUOKETA, IN THE BUILDING THAT FOR MANY YEARS WAS ROSENBERG AUTO SUPPLY. IF GANNON WOULD EVER CEASE TO EXIST, THERE WOULD BE A REAL PROBLEM FOR DEALING WITH MENTAL HEALTH IN JACKSON COUNTY.
