News and notes from the Community Center

The last week of July is coming next week. I’m still amazed: where does the time go? In the spring we were reveling in rain, rain, rain. Now we are wondering when it’ll rain; all our plants are withering! Oh well, let’s just be thankful that we are not roasting like most of the country. OK, yea, I know it’s hot – hot for here, but really not unbearable, and be thankful we have the beautiful waterfront outside our door! There are blessings.

Last week I said there were lots of incontinence products in all sizes and bed pads in our newly reorganized Durable Medical Equipment room. Some folks have taken advantage of our oversupply, but we still have lots of products. Check out our Facebook page (The Community Center) to see the photos of all the products. These products are free!

Last week I mentioned bridge. Maybe this fall is a better time to restart an ongoing game, but let’s plan ahead. Any takers? We’d love to get a new bridge group organized to play here during the week. If you or someone you know who might be looking for a game, please stop by (especially on Fridays) to help get this wonderful card game going once again.

Also, there has been a request to reorganize art classes. Any kind of art – painting (water/acrylics/oil) on canvas, paper, glass, etc. Please call or stop by. 633-9876. We’d love to rejuvenate this wonderful craft.   

Last, but certainly not least, fresh vegetables arrive every Friday morning during the summertime. The veggies are very generously donated by Town Village Foodbank Farm and Veggies to Table.  Get your bag ready to bring over on Friday mornings until 2 p.m. during the summer!
