PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

This is an unusual time for the President of the Hollis Woman’s Club. Krissy Wuerdeman was installed as your president at our Annual Luncheon in May yet she doesn’t get control of the reigns until the Board meeting in August. So if you are wondering why you are hearing from me again…..there you have it.

This newsletter will be devoted to all things strawberries with a few pieces of information. Please read through this short issue and become motivated!

61^st ANNUAL STRAWBERRY FESTIVAL

If this is the first you have read about the Strawberry Festival then you’ve been out of town. If you’ve seen these messages before and responded, then I thank you. If you’ve been waiting for someone else to step in and pick up the slack, please wait no longer.

This is the final few days before the festival. Our hulling party is this Friday, June 25^th beginning at noon. Ginny Brooks, Krissy Wuerdeman and I will be in the kitchen of the Congregational Church of Hollis after we pick up 336 quarts of strawberries on Friday morning. We will gently wash the berries and have them ready for you to sit down with knife in hand to hull all of those berries. If you have been involved in the hulling before, you know how much fun it is. Picture this: many women, men and young people sitting at tables talking and slicing the beautiful, red and delicious berries. And the aroma is to die for.

See if you can carve out a bit of time on Friday to join the fun. We need lots of hands on paring knives.

Lori Dwyer and Ginny Brooks still need a few good hands in the church during the festival. They are almost there but really need a few more women or men. Contact: Lori Dwyer, 465-3190 (email out of commission) and Ginny Brooks, 889-4505 or grambrook@charter.net.

Also needed are runners between the church and the tent. If you have a young person (middle school and older) who would like to help and get community service hours as well, contact Suzanne Jackson at 770-7025 or slj6@comcast.net.

And don’t forget to come on Sunday to the festival. It wouldn’t be the same without you.

Hollis Social Library will be holding workshops on Wednesdays from 10:30-11:30 to teach basic computer skills. Workshops will be open to anyone with a Hollis library card. Patrons can sign up at the library or over the library website. Workshops will consist of a demonstration of skills over a projector. Attendees are encouraged to bring personal laptops so they can practice or take notes during the presentation. The first workshop, “Basic Windows skills”, will be held on June 30^th in the Library meeting room and will cover using the mouse, using the keyboard, and manipulating windows and folders.

After each workshop, there will be an open “technology clinic”, where patrons can ask for one-on-one instruction and assistance for computer skills including using the Windows system, mouse and keyboard skills, internet searching, creating and using email accounts, writing and formatting word documents, and using databases for research. The clinic will be held at the library computers on a first come first serve basis.

This program will run for most of the summer, ending on August 18^th.
