Collaborating with local organizations to make a difference in our communities

 One of our strengths is partnering with various local organizations to support their mission. A few of the organizations we helped were: Rotary Clean the Kanc,Gibson lunch service,Supplies for Revolving Closet

Packing food bags for End 68 Hours of Hunger 

It's always a pleasure to see how we can serve our communities.


 Cleaning the Kanc with the Rotary! Beautiful Day!

Serving lunch at Gibson is fun!
Small but powerful crew packing bags.

About 150 bags a week!





New Officers and Adult Day Center

 Our last 2 meetings we met off site. Normally meetings are held at the Madison library but to switch things up, in May we visited Adult Day Center in Conway and in June we met at North Conway Community Center.

According to The Mount Washington Valley Adult Day Center website it is "a facility specially designed to provide care services to older adults in a comfortable, home-like setting."

We learned about the various services provided.  At the Community center we installed new officers and board members, socialized and shared a delicious buffet dinner.

A rare occasion where we get a group photo!

Lynn Coyle gave a wonderful synopsis of all the services provided by the Adult day Center.



          


Thank you board and officers for offering to serve- Missing Jess our VP and Cindy our Secretary
