News and Notes from The Community Center

    We have been gifted a spectacular vintage “Sunbonnet Baby” quilt — a rather large one — and we will be having a summer raffle to find it a new home. It will be on display and the raffle will begin on June 25 with the drawing for the winner on Aug. 1. It evokes a wow!

    Summer hours will begin on July 2 and continue through Aug.k 31. The hours will be Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. Some classes or groups may meet at other times so watch for those announcements. We tried this last summer and it worked very well, giving all of our volunteers time to be with visiting family and having some time on the water and the beach.

    The Wish List is still up and there are interesting suggestions coming in. For each suggestion, there springs a need for instructors or group leaders. Anyone want to teach calligraphy? We need you. Anyone want to facilitate a Collectors Club? We need you. Anyone want to teach Origami? We could use you.

    Be sure to wave at us in the Windjammer Days Parade!

    Plan to join us on Friday evenings from 6 until 9 p.m. for Dominoes and Cribbage. The food is good and so is the company.

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