Chichester resident Katherine Stiles, a member of the Stonehill
College Class of 2014, was inducted into the Sigma Zeta Honor
Society.
Sigma Zeta was founded in 1925 and is the national honor society for
science and mathematics. Stonehill joined Sigma Zeta in 1972, and is
one of 68 chapters in the United States.
By now even the most cautious among us will feel it is safe to plant
the garden. Please remember to include an extra row for the food
pantry.
Happy Birthday to Josh Duford on June 7, Brian Menard on June 8, and
Jason Brudniak on June 12.
Chichester’s Old Home Day is August 17 this year. The celebration
really begins on Friday, August 16, when exhibitors can set up their
spaces, the beans go into the ground to bake all night, and the
Scavenger Hunt takes place. The Scavenger Hunt is an adventure for
teams of family or friends to explore the town looking for items and
information. There is a time limit and a list of things to find. The
top three teams will win prizes, but the real fun is in the
participation. If you haven’t done the Scavenger Hunt before, why
not make this your year?
Out Of Your Attic Thrift Shop News

Thrift Shop shopping continues to entice people who visit our shop
almost every week! There is definitely a new view of the whole idea
of “wearing old makes it new again!” People are finally seeing the
value of paying $2.00 for a name brand tee shirt instead of $25 at
the mall!
Two very nice young boys (probably 10-12 years old) came in and
asked if they could look around. They had heard about “Thrift
Shopping” from friends, their moms and the song “Thrift Shop.”
Well, it wasn’t “like the big store” type selection, but they found
items for 25¢ each and were very happy!
We’re ready to accept donations (when we’re open) of the yard sale
items “that are not going back in the house (says a certain someone)
as someone else on another day will decide it’s just the item they
need.
We’re open Mon. 8-12; Tues. and Thurs. 8-4; Wed. 11-4 and Sat. 10-4;
on Route 28 next to Parker’s. Call us at 247-7191.
Chichester Town Library News
Warning: Mankind is in a race to preserve photos from the film era
before they are lost forever. Whether your family photo history
dates from the 1800s or current day, it’s important to rediscover
and protect your photo assets. Don’t let your precious family
photos be lost or become unknown.
Chichester Town Library to the rescue. On Thursday, June 13th at
6:30, David Rounds will be offering a presentation titled, “Organize
and Preserve Your Family Photo History.” You will learn how to
organize, preserve and move your photos to digital format. You will
hear tips on heirloom identification as well as photo preservation
of both photo/film/slides and digital. You will hear tips on
organization, software and scanning.
There will be free digital scans of a small number of photos, (time
permitting), so bring a blank CD and a few of your faded old photos.
