MACARONI NEWS


This week's newsletter is a little longer because it includes events for Monday, May 27th, Memorial Day. The next issue will be emailed out on Monday, May 27th at 5pm and will include events for Tuesday May 28th thru Sunday June 2nd. With so many families traveling for the holiday and all the special Memorial Day events I thought it would be best to just include the holiday and send the next one after the holiday. However I will continue to add events for Memorial Day throughout the next week so make sure you check the site often.

The E. P. Foster Library needs Teen volunteers to help with the Summer Reading Program which runs from June 12th to August 14th. Summer Volunteers are only needed : Tuesday mornings with crafts at 10:30 am OR Wednesday afternoons from 2pm - 5pm to prep for the shows. Don’t forget to check with your schools that summer volunteer hours will count towards your required community service in the fall. For more information on volunteer training call (805)648-2716 and ask for Star or Jane!
