Summer is gearing up to be very busy – as usual. Please review here the different opportunities we are offering!

Our closet is stuffed! We need help with our space crunch in our Durable Medical Equipment room. Especially, we have an abundance of incontinence products – Depends, bed/chair pads and everything in between in all sizes. Please help us. Come and get any stuff you need! And all Durable Medical Equipment is free for your needs. Of course, however, donations are welcome.

Fresh vegetables are arriving on Fridays. The veggies are very generously donated by Town Village Foodbank Farm and Veggies to Table. Get your bag ready to bring over on Fridays during the summer!

If you come by The Community Center Monday through Friday, you’ll see a retro red Radio Flyer Wagon in the hallway. We are collecting groceries for the Community Fridge! Please feel free to contribute any food or pantry items. (A flyer from CRC is yours to take for suggested donations.) Please do not leave any perishable items in the Red Wagon after 2 p.m. on Fridays.

Lobsters! We are holding our semi-annual Lobster Raffle! Here’s your chance to win 10 Maine Lobsters, generously donated by Atlantic Edge Lobster. Just think: one ticket will buy you 1 chance to win 10 lobsters for $15, or 3 tickets for $30 will triple your chances to win 10 lobsters! Raffle tickets are available here at The Community Center Monday-Friday, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., and also at the Farmers Market in the gazebo on the Boothbay Common on Thursday mornings. We will hold the drawing for the lobsters on July 2, at our Pie/Cake Bake Sale (see the next paragraph).

On July 2, The Community Center will hold a fundraising Pie/Cake Bake Sale outside in the parking lot of the Meadow Mall rain or shine! We plan on having many pies, cakes, fudge, and other sweets available for sale. All proceeds will benefit The Community Center. Calories do not nonexistent on July 2. I’m sure you will all have too many guests to feed over the 4th of July weekend, so this is a great time to stock up, and you will not have to clean up your kitchen!
