News and Notes from The Community Center

Mon, 11/20/2017 - 8:45am

    This is the week to be thankful and we, at The Community Center, have much to be thankful for: the wonderful volunteers who keep us up and running; our instructors who give of their time and talent; the talented bakers who supply us with goodies each day; our gracious landlord; the faithful donors who enable us to do our work; the Rotary Club/the Lions Club/the Boothbay Region Chamber of Commerce who honored us with fundraisers and awards this year; and Hawke Motors for keeping our van on the road. We are thankful that we had Bill, George, Faye, and Mike in our lives. We are grateful that so many in the region have stepped up to purchase and install 911 signs so that first responders and emergency crews can easily locate them when help is needed. Every day is a gift here at The Community Center and it is due to the goodness of our people that the experiment is working. Happy Thanksgiving to each and every one — we look to seeing you soon.

    Don’t forget: Seniors 62 and over walk free at the Y on Tuesday and Thursday. Call to be picked up by our van or for information about all of our offerings. 633-9876.
