 | DATES TO REMEMBER
|
 | CRIME ALERT
This past weekend several vehicles were broken into at the Knight's Pond Preserve. Burglaries from a vehicle generally have one thing in common: personal belongings, such as purses, bags, clothing, laptops and other electronic devices, are left in vehicles.
Keep in mind anything can be of value to a thief. |
 | A Reminder from the North Yarmouth Parks & Recreation Committee
Spring turkey hunting season is upon us, please be aware that hunting is permitted in some North Yarmouth parks and preserves.
We recommend that park visitors (humans and pets) wear orange.
|
 | Expandable garden hoses are wicked convenient, right?
But when they're in the recycling (a no-no), they tangle the machines and can really injure our workers when pulled out.
And check www.ecomaine.org/101 if you're unsure.
|
 | POP UP | SWAP SHOP Wescustogo Hall & North Yarmouth Community Center This event has been created to divert usable goods and materials from the waste stream. Residents may drop off items that have some useful life in them as well as pick something up that might be of use. Although it is called a swap shop, residents do not need to drop an item off to take an item from the shop.
All items are free for the taking.

| PML Introduces Two New Programs for Seniors
Let's Look Back: Remembering and Sharing Stories from the Past, on the 2nd Tuesday of each Month, 1:30 to 2:30 p.m.
In the community room of Westcustago Hall & North Yarmouth Community Center.
Remember when phones were actually dialed (or, better yet, when you shared a "party line"?). When Sunday dinner with family was a weekly event? When Elvis wore blue suede shoes?
Let's Look Back is a conversation about those times we remember in our early years, shared with people who remember them, too.
Facilitator Amy Hatch is eager to hear stories from people who were there, back when ... She is a licensed social worker and lives with her husband and son in Cumberland.
Teatime AudioStories: A Read-Aloud and Social Group for Seniors, on the 2nd & 4th Thursdays of each Month at 11 a.m.
In the community room of Westcustago Hall & North Yarmouth Community Center.
Bring some busy work or just bring yourself. Relax and listen to a short story or an essay read aloud by Kelly Greenlee, a librarian at Prince Memorial Library.
What a great way to spend an afternoon.
