Welcome September! It’s our busy month for the garden club, so please all join in and let’s have some fun!
CENTENNIAL HALL GARDENS – Please reach out to Nancy Goggin if you can help with the gardens, which will need tidying up before the Fall Fest and just general maintenance. Nancy is always looking for extra hands to help.
MUM/ASTER SALE
Pick up of plants is on FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 11th from 2-5 pm at Centennial Hall.
Our fun & fabulous FALL FESTIVAL is on SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 12th, 8:30 am – 1:00 pm at Centennial Hall, Harpswell.
ATTIC TREASURES can be dropped off from noon to 2 pm at Centennial Hall porch on Sunday, September 6th; or on the porch from 9 am – 12:00 pm on Monday, September 9th through Thursday the 10th.
Remember no clothes, or appliances or anything too big. Broken jewelry and single earrings are fine. If you have any questions please speak to the chairs, Annette Dunn and Susan Perless.
The BAKING committee is always looking for more bakers and help in packaging the goodies the day before. Please contact chairs, Linda Clement, Mary Maroney, or Sherry Holt.
If you’d like to help with the vendors or with setting up on Saturday morning, please talk with the chairs, Annette Fuller and Jodette Endsley.
Cleanup is a BIG JOB. We could do with many hands at 1:00pm on Saturday. Please consider giving us some of your time at the end of the festival: many hands make light work. It would be most appreciated. If you’d like to help in any way, set-up, clean-up, or in between, please click this link for Signup Genius:
