News and Notes from The Community Center

The Van Trip to the Owl’s Head Museum is coming up on Monday, Aug. 20. The entrance fee to the museum will be covered as part of our enrichment program so the only expense will be lunch. Be sure to call or drop by to sign up for this really exciting day out. We plan to leave the Center at nine in the morning and return by five in the afternoon.

Shirleyanne Davidson with the lucky winner of the Sunbonnet Girl quilt. Thanks to all who participated in this fundraiser. And thanks to the friend of the Center who donated the quilt.

Our knitters are busy making Hospice Blankets in response to a call to fill a national need. These ladies are so enthusiastic about giving their time and talent to make a happier world. There simply isn’t anything that gives a warm hug in times of need better than a hand-knitted item.

If you drop in on Thursday or Friday, you may find fresh vegetables to take home and enjoy. We are the willing recipients of the bounty from local farms which comes through the Food Pantry. The lettuces and chard have been especially good this season. Thanks, Fleet Davis, for thinking of us.

Plan to join us on Friday evening from 6 until 9 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.
