The Trustees of the Deering Public Library continue the tradition of presenting the End of Year/Solstice/Christmas/Kwanzaa/Hanukkah party and we need your help.
The party will be held on 10 December in Deering Town Hall
Beginning at 1:00 pm there will be an hour of crafting.
At 2:00 multi instrumentalist Roger Tincknell will present his Solstice Celebration of music and stories.
Santa will arrive at 3:00.
There will be a drawing for a home-made gingerbread house, the (undecorated) Christmas tree and for two gift cards to Toadstool Bookstore.
Light refreshments with cocoa will be served.
How can you help? Can you contribute a craft and manage the table of little kids? These crafts should be simple things; something a child can complete within the hour, to take home. Crafts can be themed in any tradition, not just Christmas.
We expect anywhere from forty to seventy children, probably closer to the lower number.
There are only two library trustees. We are determined to make this party a success but could certainly use your help to ensure success.
If you can help, please leave a comment here.
THANKS!
