TO ALL: we appreciate your support and
enthusiasm—looking forward to our new look and more lobster next year on August
1, 2020!
We are planning next year’s event and will have more lobster,
more seating and more staff, so please come on back and enjoy this wonderful
community gathering! The kitchen volunteers were amazing as they produced 138
lobster rolls, and 32 other meals, for a total 170 lunches! (150 in 2018);
hooray for the blueberry cake bakers!
Hats off to those organizing, and donating to, the awesome bake sale,
book sale, children’s craft, and loon calling contest as well as those with the
muscle who set up/took down the tents, chairs and tables. Big applause to the Ukes group-Lucinda Coombs,
and Bandy family for providing lively music for all to enjoy.
LOBSTER ROLL LUNCH, Book & Bake Sale–THANK YOU! The Friends of the Library extend a hearty thanks to all those who attended the lunch and supported the library; a special thanks to the multitude of volunteers who made it happen! KUDOS TO ELSIE DRAGONETTI, the lobster queen, who 10 years ago envisioned and organized the first Library Festival and Lobster Roll Lunch; retiring this year with plans to not cook-but enjoy-her toasted bun lobster roll next year. Over these 10 years, the event has become so popular, we ran out of lobster at 12:45-and for that we are so sorry!
Bibliography by Steve and Molly Saunders from August 8, 2019 Program
Steve and Molly Saunders Presented “What’s going on at the border?” Steve and Molly Saunders presented a talk about their three weeks volunteering recently in El Paso, Texas. As former Peace Corps Volunteers in El Salvador, Steve and Molly decided it was time to be proactive, and headed for Texas to volunteer in a church-run shelter for migrants coming from Central America. They shared their experiences and described what they found during their stay. Who are these asylum seekers? Why are they making this dangerous journey to the US? How are they being treated while in detention? How were these people helped on their way by volunteers working at these shelters in El Paso once the migrants were released from detention? And what can be done in the future about this human situation.
