On Saturday, March 9th, our Junior Guild ladies spent their morning cleaning our streets! We had a great turn out and a few members brought their children - never to early to teach them how to give back to our great community. Huge thank you to these ladies for sacrificing their Saturday morning (a cold and rainy morning at that). Our 2018 Mum Sale was a huge success. Our Junior Guild members sold 384 mums and our two top sellers were Tiffany Delano and Mariah McKellar. A huge THANK YOU to all our ladies (and their significant others) who worked hard to make this possible!
The Provisional Class chose to work with the Down East Partnership for Children for their project this year. They chose this particular organization due to their work with children in our communities since they are the future leaders of our community. The DEPC’s mission is “to launch every child as a healthy, lifelong learner by the end of the third grade.” They do this in part by strategically investing money into the school system and also holding events for children and their families throughout the year to build a sense of community within the twin counties. The particular focus throughout the project was updating Discovery Park by pressure washing and then painting already existing play houses with fresh paint and new trim. The provisional class was able to have the project completed by the Party In the Park on April 17th. The play houses received rave reviews from the children. Remaining paint will be donated to the DEPC for touch-ups on the houses and whatever else they would like to use the paint for throughout the year. BeforeDuringand After
