Organizations that provide services to Hall County seniors scrambled Wednesday to get back to a normal schedule following three straight days of disruptions in the wake of power outages and blocked roads from fallen trees caused by Tropical Storm Irma. Officials with the Community Service Center and The Guest House in Gainesville said programs offered by their respective organization will be open and operating Thursday. Although power returned to the Community Service Center at 430 Prior St. in Gainesville, meals were not available because the food provider from Cornelia was unable to deliver, said Brandy Palmero, who manages the Meal on Wheels and Senior Life Center programs for the Community Service Center.
