Wow. August is here and the sun is still shining!

More Lobsters: Are you ready to enter our next drawing for a Bucket ‘A Lobsters? From now through August, we will be selling raffle tickets here at The Community Center, for a drawing on Sept. 1. Beginning Aug. 10, we will also be selling raffle tickets at The Farmers’ Market at the Boothbay Common on Thursday mornings. $10 for 1 ticket or $20 to purchase three tickets to win 10 free lobsters. Buy lots of tickets! Labor Day feasting will be coming before you know it! Yummmm. And here’s the good news; if you are the lucky winner and have left our beautiful region for winter elsewhere, we will ship your lobsters to you.

Don’t forget: on Fridays during the summer, the Food Pantry delivers to us beautiful, very fresh lettuce and veggies by the box full! Please bring a bag and help yourself! To whet your appetite, check out our Facebook page to see the picture of our latest delivery. (www.facebook.com/boothbaycommunitycenter.)

We are working on trying to obtain information and drivers to help people without transportation to get to their medical appointments, grocery shopping, etc. in the Boothbay region, Damariscotta and Brunswick. More information will be forthcoming.
