Girl Scout Seeks Bronze Star

My name is Sivan and I am ten, I am working toward my bronze award in Girl Scouts. To earn my bronze award I am collecting jewelry.

The jewelry will be donated to the Northborough Senior Center. The Northborough Senior Center will sell the jewelry and with the money they make they will buy things that the Senior Center might need.

The jewelry has to be in good condition. It does not have to be fancy or new.

Thank You

Collection boxes are at Northboro free library

Library Survey – Due September 10

The library is working on a long range plan, due October 1 to our state agency. As part of the plan, we are gathering some information in a survey. Can you help? We have paper copies in the library, and will have them in the Senior Center and Town Hall. Or go to http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/5K58SVD The survey is only one page long with six questions. We are already receiving some responses, so thanks to those who took a few minutes to answer the questions, especially the comments and suggestions.

Making Memories Art Exhibit

During the month of September we have a multi-media art display in our meeting room featuring works by children and adults who have been recipients of organ transplants. Come in and take a look! This is the New England Organ Bank’s first traveling art exhibit.

We Need Shelvers!

Our next training session for volunteer shelvers will be held on Tuesday, September 21, at 3 p.m. The training takes approximately 1.5 hours. We ask for a 2-hour a week, three month commitment, to put away books in the adult areas. (Contact Pat Link in the Children’s Room if you’d like to help out there.) Previous volunteers are welcome to continue their shelving! We will accept teenagers who are at least 15 years old. Shelving requires physical strength, and the ability to stoop and reach.

Thank you to the T-Ball Coaches!

On behalf of Northborough Recreation and its T-Ball program for 4-6 year-olds, I would like to thank our volunteer T-Ball Coaches for another successful season of T-Ball! Over 250 children participated this summer and without the willingness of the T-Ball coaches to give of their time, talent, and most importantly patience, this program would not continue to thrive. It was a pleasure to work with each of our coaches this summer and we wish them success in their year to come!

Thank you to: Karen Ares, Anton Alfonso, Chris Benestad, Matthew Boeckeler, Helen Chin, Bob Ciulla, Alison and Andy Cosgrove, Steve Daunais, Mike Doherty, Jen and John Drohan, Brian Edwardsen, Chris Feeney, Brian Girard, David Greenstein, Tom Guggina, Erik Hansen, Maggie and Joe Kelly, Joel Kerr, Steve Kurina, Mike Ladrie, Michelle Lemoi, Robert Lin, Jason Marchese, Amy Melisi, Telly Mitsis, Rich Novitch, Chris Parlente, Steve Postizzi, Tony Potenti, David Prince, Doug Pulsifer, Rob Reynolds, Matthew Scott, Len Svitenko, Raymond Swain, Christine Wang, Jeff Weisenberg and Kevin Welch.

Regards,
Allison Lane, Northborough Recreation Director
Katie Weaver, T-Ball Coordinator
