Build and Grow workshop
Mapleton Brownie Troop 1133 recently invited family members to one of their meetings to participate in a Build and Grow workshop sponsored by Lowe’s. Each of the troop members invited a parent to help them construct a wooden ball toss. The girls worked together with their mother or father to hammer the pieces of the kit together to complete the game. Attending were Katelyn and Scott Amero, Delaney and David Alward, Madelyn and Aaron Buzza, Alexis and Rick Getchell, Alexus LaFerriere and Daveena Waugh, Jenna and Dennis Mountain, Sydney and Jennifer Robichaud, and Amanda and Willie Winslow. In addition to the finished game, the girls each received a certificate of completion and patch for their uniforms. The troop would like to extend a sincere “thank you” to Phil Rose of Lowe’s for making the event possible! The girls and their family members had a great time.
Spring cleaning?
The Chapman Ridge Runners Snowmobile and ATV Club is now planning for their gigantic yard sale, which will be held in September. During spring cleaning, if residents find themselves with items they would like to donate now (no clothing please), please call Linda Pelletier at 762-3741. All proceeds will benefit the building fund.
The wait is over
For those of you who supported your local Girl Scout troop’s annual cookie sale, the cookies are here. You should be contacted by the Girl Scout who sold you cookies in the coming days. Thank you for your support of the Girl Scouts of Maine.
