Lakes Region Newcomers Club
celebrates 40 Years of Fun and Friends!!
On September 27th, Lakes Region Newcomers Club members celebrated the 40th anniversary of the organization. A special tribute was made to Marge Clarke, founder of the Newcomers Club back in 1978. She was heard repeatedly stating "I can't believe it!" as she looked around at the more than one hundred celebrants that night.
Sue Stevens, our club's vice-president, created a really special video in honor of Mage Clarke and the wonderful club she started those many years ago. We'd like to thank Sue for the love she put into this project. If you didn't get a chance to see it, click on the photo below to enjoy her production.

Volunteer Opportunities “Gardening and chicken care opportunities" We are looking for volunteers to support the gardens and the chicken program. Prescott Farm 928 White Oaks Road Laconia, NH 03246 Prescott Farm - exploring and preserving the natural world, one adventure at a time. https://prescottfarm.org/service/get-involved/volunteer/ ============================================================================ Interesting facts about our Local Libraries If you are looking for a book that your local library doesn’t have, they will gladly search other New Hampshire libraries to see if they can find the title you are seeking. In addition to tracking down special requests, the library will use the Inter-library Loan (ILL) system when looking for multiple copies of a single title for a book club. ILL is a service whereby a patron of one library can borrow books, DVDs, music, etc. and/or receive photocopies of documents that are owned by another library. Although books and journal articles are the most frequently requested items, some libraries will lend audio recordings, video recordings, maps, sheet music, and microforms of all kinds. In some cases, nominal fees accompany the inter-library loan services. The State Library in Concord provides van services for delivery of these materials libraries. The van picks up and drops off materials to the Wolfeboro Library on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. All NH libraries offer these services. |
