BELLOWS FALLS — The Bellows Falls Woman’s Club will hold its March meeting on the 13th, at the United Church, School Street, beginning at 1:30 p.m. Speakers will be Janice Berube and Michelle Sacco of Windham County Youth Services.
The Feb. 13 meeting featured Alex Stradling of FACT-TV. Stradling gave an interesting presentation on this local TV resource, including its history, and the two local channels in use: Channel 10 as the government access channel and Channel 8, the public access channel. Alex promoted the availability of this communication tool for organizations to promote their programs and events, all according to a press release.
In addition, Mike Smith, CEO of Greater Rockingham Area Services, spoke to the group about the Feb. 26 public forum on the opioid crisis this area is facing. The forum was designed to foster greater community connections with several groups and agencies that provide services to youth and adults caught in the cycle of drug use.
Club members donated several grocery bags of non-perishable food and personal care items to Our Place Drop-in Center, from one of two drives held in support of area food shelves.
The local club has welcomed six new members during this club year. Women interested in joining the club may contact Barbara Comtois at (802) 344-0025.
The club is a member of the General Federation of Women’s Clubs, which promotes community service by its members, collectively and individually.
