News and Notes from the Community Center

Tue, 04/17/2018 - 11:00am

As most of you have read, Jane Good is retiring to her former life on Southport Island as of June first. To a person, those of us involved in the day-to-day operation of The Community Center will miss Jane, her wonderful ideas and her contagious enthusiasm and passion. We are committed to seeing that things keep running smoothly, and as usual. If you are one of the few who have not been to the Center, we invite you to come in, take a class, play a game, have a cuppa coffee or tea, go on a van trip, and have fun. We will be here for you.

Tickets are available for the annual Kentucky Derby Party sponsored by the Boothbay Harbor Rotary Club for the benefit of the Community Center. The date is May 5, the place is Rotary Hall on Montgomery Road Extension, and the doors open at 5:30 p.m. Spectacular items are coming in each day for the Silent Auction. The event will also feature hors d’oeuveres and a cash bar, live music by Paul Johnson and Amber Jones, and live streaming of “The Race.” Tickets are $15 each and there are a limited number.

Hint: There is a Victorian Architecture Road Trip to Belfast with Richard Plunkett coming up on June 6. More about it next week but the early sign-up sheet is posted. We anticipate that it will fill quickly.

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