In addition to our regular schedule, we have two weekend programs this week. On Saturday, Oct. 14 at 1 p.m., there will be a workshop and discussion on Nutrition for Pre-Diabetes with Dr. Patricia Phillips as the presenter. Patty’s last workshop was full to overflowing and everyone came away with lots of valuable advice. If you or anyone in your family has diabetes or pre-diabetes come hear how to prepare easy, inexpensive, delicious foods that can help control blood sugar. Food Demonstration-Tasting Session-Q&A. The doors open at 12:30.

On Sunday, Oct. 15 at 10 a.m., the van leaves for the Back Road Quilters Show in West Gardiner. The theme is “Seasons in Maine.” Demonstrations-Sales-Lunch.

We would like to extend a huge thank you to all who came to visit our booth at the Fall Foliage Festival at the Railway Village this past weekend. We had a grand time in spite of the weather and we loved seeing all of you.
