We are reminding you that the first potluck supper of the season will take place at the BICA hall at 24 West Side Road on Barters Island on Wednesday, April 19 at 5:30. The hosts would like you to bring either a main dish, a side, a salad or a dessert to share. You may bring you own appetizers for this gathering, but no sharing would be appreciated. You should also bring your beverage of choice and BICA will have coffee and water available. We will have a short meet and greet during the evening.

There is always a need for folks to help host the potlucks so if you might be interested, you can always come to observe to see how it works and what’s involved. Let Evelyn know of your availability and/or interest.

As previously announced there will be a Barters Island cleanup on April 30. The volunteer response for this event has been amazing. Those that have volunteered will be receiving an email in the near future with their assignment and instructions. Many thanks to all that have volunteered to help with this community project.

And another reminder for when you are doing your spring cleaning is to be sure to save those no longer needed nice items for the July 1 Better Than A Yard Sale. This year only cookbooks and gardening books are requested and the no clothing, no large pieces of furniture stipulations of past sales remain in place.

Please contact Evelyn (207-380-6977 or evelynshahan@gmail.com) if you know of a friend, neighbor or someone on the island who needs a little assistance. She would also love to hear from you if you have any questions about any other BICA activities or events.
