Hi everyone! The beat goes on….the beat goes on. And the Center is swinging.
The membership meeting was great to say the least. It was so wonderful to see all of you again. We welcomed our new Executive Director Sauny Travis to our community. She is just delightful. If you missed the meeting, drop in to see her. She will officially take the helm on Monday, June 21.
And the beat goes on. A very nice volunteer will be in the house on Mondays mornings at the desk. Thank You so much. We can now be open all day Mondays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. We thank all the volunteers who stepped up to allow us to open. We still need two more for Friday and we will be fully open. Time needed are 9 a.m. to noon and noon to 3 p.m. Call (603) 543-5998 for more information.

The Men’s Breakfast will be on Monday, June 14. Doors will open at 8 a.m. Serving starts at 8:15 a.m. The volunteers will be serving perfectly round pancakes, golden brown sausages (or crispy bacon), cold, refreshing juice and coffee.

Several people have asked about inside eating. With the COVID rules in place, it would take about 12 more kitchen volunteers to put the meal on the tables. Serving and cleaning rules are rigid and would require more help.
However, if you wanted to eat outside with friends, bring silverware, napkins and maybe tray tables. Lawn chairs can be placed in the shade or between cars. Sit in the shade, eat and visit with friends. Trash buns and used container bins will be available.
