Mayville Seniors hold off meetings

Although the Mayville Senior Citizens are anxious to meet soon, the group will have to wait until state restrictions have been lifted. State restrictions are still in place that do not allow groups of any large numbers to meet indoors in one spot. Hopefully, when more people are vaccinated and the numbers of persons getting infected with COVID-19 have gone down, these restrictions will ease.
