CROP walk this Saturday Aug. 27 HARRISON — This Saturday will be the 27th year that the United Parish Congregational Church of Harrison and North Bridgton will have sponsored the special CROP Walk to fight hunger both here and around the world. Walkers will start at 9 a.m. Aug. 27 at the church and walk to North Bridgton and back along a designated route. Drinks will be provided at the halfway spot and a relief car will be available. Some 2,000 communities across the United States have their own CROP Walks. Walkers get friends and family to sponsor them, and local businesses have also been very supportive. Twenty-five percent of the monies raised returns to the community to assist the local food pantries. Food baskets at Thanksgiving and Hannaford gift cards at Christmas are distributed. The rest of the funds are used here in the U.S. and abroad. Disaster kits are provided after earthquakes or hurricanes. Blankets, medical supplies, and shelter are sent where needed around the world to assist those affected by drought or war or famine. After immediate needs
are met, help is provided to rebuild roads and bridges, repair schools, and to reestablish electricity. Then vocational training and scholarships can be given, seeds and tools provided. People can grow their own food and wells can be dug that will bring clean water to villages. For more information, call the church office at 583-4840 or Jane Seeds at 583-2112.

Well done, Dave Mason & family
Congratulations are in order to Dave Mason, age 94, who took part in the Camp Agawam’s 15th annual Golf Marathon Aug.18. Dave only played nine holes but with the Mason family (a great-grandnephew from Virginia, a nephew from Idaho and a nephew from New York dressed in Mason family T-shirts) they raised $4,091 between them in pledges — $362 of which came through this column. The fifth family member, Peg Mason, drove the cart, cheering the men on. Peg and Dave at one time owned and ran Camp Agawam, which is an escape for boys to experience the feeling of being part of a well-organized group. The three nephews that took part are alumni of the camp, putting in an effort so other boys will have the chance to learn how to have fun but still be gentlemen. The tournament had 21 other golfers, and all together $56,224 was raised. This amount of money will provide seven boys with full summer scholarships of seven weeks, and 100 boys with a week at Agawam. The total holes played were 100. Dave and family thank all those who made a pledge and supported them. The boys who will benefit from the tournament will
greatly appreciate the opportunity given them. The last Greater Lovell Land Trust Walk in August will take place on Wednesday, Aug. 31 at 9 a.m. This is a six-hour active hike in the White Mountain National Forest, where the participants will hike from Shell Pond to Blueberry Mountain and back. This is recommended for the hardy, with correct hiking boots or sneakers, appropriate clothing and providing water, snack and lunch for themselves. On the descent, the group will stop at a mountain pool and for those who’d like to finish the day with a swim, bring a bathing suit. For directions, contact the Greater Lovell Land Trust office at 925-1056. The Lovell Brick Church for the Performing Arts will present a special show with Al Hawkes and the Americana Show on Thursday, Sept. 1 at 7:30 p.m. This show is special because it will celebrate the 75th birthday of Roberta Chandler, who has been a huge influence on the Performing Arts Center and the restoration of the Brick Church and still serves on the advisory board. The music for the evening will be a combination of bluegrass, country and folk. A different kind of fundraisWELL DONE, Page B
