Bunny Breakfast:
So far many of you have volunteered to help with the breakfast. I still need people to run crafts, do face painting, and be the bunny. I also need help with set-up and clean-up. But we are getting there. I just need a few more of you to give a few hours of your time, either on March 26th or 27th. 

The Bunny Breakfast basket committee is looking for basket items and baskets themselves for the raffle table. If you have any unused item that would look nice, please bring it to the meeting on Feb. 23 at the Senior Center or drop it by Jillmarie Decarolis's or Maureen Denault's home. 

March: Girls Inc.
Janna Chapedelaine from Girls Inc will present a new program they are offering at Girls Inc and we might want to consider getting more involved with...Shower The Scholar. This program is very similar to the one we do for our scholarship winners. Come and learn more about this exciting organization that empowers girls to be who and what they can be!
Girls Inc does have a wish list, so if you have these items readily available to you, please bring them to the March meeting:
      *new, unopened games
      *art supplies
      *gift cards (Target, Staples, Stop&Shop, Big Y)
      *sports equipment
This is a great opportunity to go through all your holiday gifts and see if there is anything you want to part with.

I thank Thee again, as a Volunteer
For the Chance to serve again this year;
To give of myself in some small way,
To those not blessed as I each day.
