For all of you who read the Morning Catch, Happy Valentine’s Day, Feb. 14! Come visit us from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and take home a box of cookies (or other baked goods) all for the suggested donation of $10 to support our activities here at The Community Center. (We supply the boxes!)  If you’d like to bake some cookies/sweets, we’d be happy to accept them on Tuesday, Feb. 13 or the morning of Feb. 14. Any unsold delicacies will be refrigerated/frozen for future consumption. I hope you’ve seen our flyers around town. I know, I know, everyone’s on a diet for one reason or another, but who can be good on Valentine’s Day?

NOTE: We will be closed Feb. 19 for Presidents’ Day. 

Reminder: Time has come to make appointments. If you would like help with your taxes, open season has started with Midcoast Ca$h. We’d be happy to make an appointment for you. Midcoast Ca$h will be holding two days of free tax preparation, Saturday, March 2, and Tuesday, April 2, at the Boothbay Town Office, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Appointments are a must. If you’re interested, we will help you with the sign-up process at The Community Center. Alternatively, you can make your own appointment by calling 207-295-6340 or 207-751-3756; or email midcoastcash@uwmcm.org, or visit the following website: www.eznetscheduler.com/calendar/midcoastmaineCASH. 

Rummikub: We’d still love to see more people join this fun game here on Fridays from noon to 2 p.m. All levels of players are welcome. The game is not hard to learn, and once you understand the basics, it’s off to learn the strategy to beat your opponents, or just have fun! 

Puzzles, coffee, tea, goodies, and good camaraderie are always available all week long. Please save us from eating too many goodies ourselves by coming in and sharing our snacks. And we always welcome new faces and fresh ideas!
