The Quilt Raffle drawing is on Wednesday, Aug. 1 at 2 p.m.. Have you purchased your tickets?

The ever popular Dumpster Diving Bingo is Wednesday evening from 6 until 8. You really need to try this! Great fun for the entire family. Free game, free snacks, great prizes!

The Coast Guard Auxiliary Boating Classes begin this week for those who want to be certified.

Looking ahead we have an Introduction to Bookbinding class coming up. The instructor, Karen McDermott says “This two session workshop will introduce you to the art of bookbinding and the fun of creating with beautiful papers, linen threads and other materials and tools related to the craft. We will talk about the vocabulary used when making books, the parts of a book and how to fold, cut, measure and pierce paper.” The class is for adults only and space is limited so call in or come by to sign up.

Also coming soon is the newly revised Empowered Patient Group, meeting on the 15th and 29th of August.

Last, but certainly not least, is an Enrichment Program Van Trip to Owl’s Head. We will visit the Transportation Museum and the Lighthouse. Keep tuned as plans develop for this Aug. 20 outing.

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