“Pride in Our Past…Faith in Our Future”

Library News from Linda

If you haven’t noticed school is out for summer. Our summer reading program “Build a Better World” begins on June 1^st. We have 50 children signed up, which I believe is record. I know we plan on being very busy, but it will be worth it to keep the kids’ reading.

Our school year reading program ended last week. Andy Carter, son of Lindsey and Dave Carter won the $10 reward in May. I will give the kids’ this week to get all their tickets turned in and we will have our last drawing for that program on Monday.

Part of “Build a Better World” is to instill a desire in children to become a part of the community. Teaching this concept to children is easier than you might think. This age group already recognizes the concept of being a part of a team, we simply need to show them how to transfer the idea of team work to community involvement. The library kids helped remove the dead flowers from the pots on main street and plant the new flowers. Everyone who helped was covered in mud, but seemed to truly enjoy themselves. On Sunday, I asked as many kids’ as possible to come to the cemetery and help take down the flags. We had a good turnout. The kids did a great job taking down the little flags and winding them up. They were then responsible for carrying the big flags to the ladies on the cemetery board to fold. Although the flags were large for little hands, not one flag touched the ground. Two community tasks in two weeks that were accepted and completed with not one word of what do I get for doing it. The cookies Sherry Perkins supplied at the end was gladly accepted however. Some special thanks from me to all the children and adults who helped.

If you have not witnessed the process of putting up and taking down of the flags it is a fine-tuned operation. Thanks to the ladies and gentlemen who serve on the cemetery board and make it possible for everyone to enjoy the beautiful flags.

I would also like to thank Home Town Pride for providing the beautiful wreath for the top of the war memorial. Special thanks to Diane Milbourn for designing and constructing the wreath and Clint Milbourn for putting the wreath up.

During the last planning committee meeting the theme for the parade this year will be: Build a Better World so be planning an entry for the parade.

The carving for the raffle was voted on, the winning carving is the Welcome Owl.

Raffle tickets will be going on sale in July. If you would like to assist in selling tickets

please let Teresa Hardy know, she will be happy to provide you the tickets.
