PARK PHONE SYSTEM

The Palm Creek in-house phone system will be discontinued as of 7/1/2017. Obsolete analog equipment has outlived its useful lifespan. We have identified some modern cost effective alternatives for our residents not already using cell phone technology. Log on to www.magicjack.com.

(We'll miss the convenience of the phone system but understand how the analog equipment is obsolete.  Welcome to the digital age!)

This will be an exciting summer for us!!  You can bet that Don and I will be out with cameras in hand getting lots of photos for you folks back home.  Stay tuned!
