On May 21, 2019 we had our meeting at the Elie-carrier Center. Penny Fowler welcomed everyone and mentioned we had a group of speakers coming after lunch. She started right away with members having their birthday in May, James Bailey and Ernestine Whipple.
The participation prizes were won by Eileen Dezan and Penny Fowler. Door prizes went to Mary Cutler, Mary Lessard, Lydia May, Laura Mayew, Dustine Mayhew, Ellie Bailey, Ruth Charleau, Ed Bryant and Ernestine Whipple. Lunch was preceded by Ruth Charleau saying the Grace.
The speakers explained the various services they can provide and gave us pamphlets and cards to reach them easily. I’ll list them with some information to make it easier.

Fresh flowers are a nice and easy way to keep your home cheery. But when the flowers begin to wilt, what do you do with them? Whether you grew them yourself or brought them in from the store, all flowers are fully compostable. But one thing isn’t: The water used in the vase. That little packet of flower feed that came with your store-bought flowers is actually a biocide that kills bacteria in water, and that chemical can kill the good bacteria in your compost. It’s best to pour that water mixture down the drain.
