Girl Scouts make game of filling wood shed Girl Scout Troop #58 did a great job recently, filling a woodshed with a cord of wood. As an activity before a sleepover at the United Church of Christ, the girls volunteered to help Mrs. Hurst get her wood in. The girls worked together, forming two lines and passing logs to each other, with the last two stacking. They made a game out of it, singing and laughing and having a ball. As Mrs. Hurst watched, she and leaders Linda Libby and Mary Anne Vitella couldn’t believe they did the whole pile. Thanks, girls, you did a great job, and I enjoyed watching you. The girls taking part were Audra Hamlin, Kirby Waterman, Amanda “Gracie” Neddenriep, Sinead Lounsbury, Julia Vitella and Madeline “Maddy” Darling. Adults working with Troop #58 were Megan Hamlin, Mary Anne Vitella, Linda Libby and Ellie Waterman. The Charlotte Hobbs Memorial Library’s annual appeal letter has gone out to the community. The library is astonishing in the amount of activities that they hold or sponsor. Yes, there is a new addition, but parts of the orig-
inal library need work — and that takes money. With donations, fundraising and support from the town, the library can support itself. But it’s those little extras that come up that cause the need for additional funds. Our library (and it is our library) has maintained a free library card for all, which is a blessing. We who use and appreciate the library need to step up to the plate now, so that the needed repairs be made to the elderly part of the library. Every time I look at the library, the tennis courts and the playground with the parking area, I can’t help be feel proud that the small town of Lovell could have such a beautiful facility. In planning your Christmas list, put your library right at the top. It’s a gift that keeps on giving. In New Suncook School PTA news, the Dad’s Dynamite Pie Sale sold 159 pies, with Molly Callaghan selling the most at 25 pies sold. For those who bought the pies, please note that they can be picked up at the school on Friday, Nov. 22, from 2:30 to 5:30 p.m., and Saturday, Nov. 23, from 4:30 to 8 p.m. during the Annual Auction.

This event is for
all ages, especially children, to have fun making some Crismons, cookies, and crafts and sing carols in celebration of the Advent season. There will be refreshments and items to make to take home.

The Thanksgiving concert that was to be held on Saturday, Nov. 30, has been moved to Monday, Dec. 2, at the Lovell United Church of Christ at 7 p.m. The date change was because of a date conflict. The concert by the St. Petersburg Men’s Ensemble from Russia should be very interesting and an entertaining and unique experience.
