Hello Neighbor, The lilac bush outside our office is budding which is a sure sign that spring has arrived! As we await those first fragrant blooms, we’re also counting down the days to a major milestone: our 29th birthday. Since opening our doors on May 27, 1997, it has been our privilege to grow alongside and serve this wonderful community. To celebrate, we invite you to join us on May 25th, immediately following the town’s Memorial Day Parade. Help us kick off our 29th year with hot dogs, ice cream, cake, raffles, and more… all at no cost to you! The rest of our summer is looking just as bright. We have a full lineup of art workshops, a fresh twist on our Annual Art Show titled “Lighthouses on the Lawn,” and the launch of our Annual Carter Challenge to keep these programs thriving. If you’re local, keep an eye on your mailbox in mid-May for our full summer mailer. Kindly,
Amy Mooney, Executive
