The "Gibson Girls" and jumping into fall events!

 The summer flew by and now October is nearly over! Whew! Even though time is quickly flying by, our Altrusa  club has been busy. Check out the "Gibson Girls" a rotating shift of members who serve lunch at our local Gibson Senior Center. It is a great time and so many smiles and interactions with folks.


Fall events have included many hands peeling and coring apples for a local church's apple crisp booth held at the Fryeburg Fair. It was a LOT of apples and our annual volunteer booth to assist the Laura Foundation at their Halloweentown. Despite the torrential downpours a good time was had by kids and adults alike.

Halloweentown is a fun event held for the local families. Kids of all ages visit the decorated cabins participate in games and of course "trick or"treat". This is one of 2 major fundraisers for  The Laura Foundation and they rely on goodwill donations as well as a host of volunteers to assist.

So many apples !!!!!!! The Congregational Church in North Conway, fondly known as "The Brown Church" sells pans and pans of apple crisp at the fair each year. We happily gather with their congregants to peel, core and slice apples for this delicious homemade dessert.
