Kiwanis Birthday Calendars
2015 is Easton’s Sesquicentennial! To mark the occasion, the Kiwanis Club of Easton wants to celebrate the town by creating a special Community Calendar for 2015. It will have 12 different photos depicting the history of the community and will continue to have advertising for local businesses and everyone’s birthdays in the past. The cost of this year’s calendar will be $10. In an effort to get the product out to everyone in November, the group is trying to have the order completed and sent to the printing company by Aug. 15. Please call Loris Allen for more information at 488-6111. Checks can be sent to: Kiwanis Club of Easton, PO Box 291, Easton, ME 04740.
