Summer is almost here—next Monday is Memorial Day and The Center will be closed so that we can all celebrate with our families and then we will be up and running, as usual on Tuesday.

Trumpet fanfare: The winner of the beautiful Spring Quilt was Lilie Hassan. Not only is she very happy, but she will probably be joining the Just Sew group to learn to quilt and earn a sewing machine. Lilie is 12 years old and in the 6th grade.

The next Van Trip will take place on June 2nd. The knitterss are going off to the Maine Fiber Frolic at the Windsor Fair Grounds. There are several seats left and anyone can join in so if you are interested, come in and sign up. The van will leave at 9 a.m. and they plan to return by 3 p.m. Bring lunch money and $2 entrance fee.

We have invited guests to suggest new classes or interest groups. Two that caught the writer’s eye are a Collectors Club and a Classical Music Group. Do you have a special “thing” that you would like to do here at the Community Center? There is a big white board just inside the door for you to write your suggestion. Just sayin’.

Dominoes and Cribbage Friday evenings from 6-9 p.m.

For more information or if you need the van to pick you up and take you to walk at the Y, call 633-9876.
