West Bay Rotary, MRC annual yard sale fundraiser
West Bay Rotary and Midcoast Recreation Center (MRC) will hold their annual indoor yard sale fundraiser from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday and Sunday at MRC, 535 West St. Early birds are welcome at 7 a.m. for a $5 entrance fee. On Sunday, from noon to 2 p.m. shoppers may fill a box or bag with donated items for $5.
Community members may donate items (please no clothing, baby items, electronics, or couches) for the two organizations to sell or may rent space for $10 and sell their own items. Those renting space must provide their own tables and chairs.
AFCI mailing.
The Age Friendly Community Initiative recently embarked on an ambitious program to reach out to older adults in our 6-town region. Thanks to the financial support of the Bethel Rotary Club, we sent out packets with a wide variety of items of interest, including wonderful contributions from students at the Eddy School, Telstar Freshman Academy and Gould Academy. We have received a grant from the Maine Community Foundation to continue this outreach through the coming year. If you haven’t received a packet, there are copies available in several area locations (the Bethel Family Health Center, the Bethel Foodliner, the Bethel Library and several other area sites).
CORONAVIRUS
All Maine residents over 16 years old are now eligible for COVID 19 vaccinations, and It’s very exciting how easy it is to get a vaccination these days – some without a prior appointment.
