On July 11th, with funds received from a Gratuity Grant
from the Elks National Foundation, (ENF), our Lodge purchased 22
bicycles and helmets to give to local children. Working with a local
school and in conjunction with our Copper Cannon project, we
provided a lunch for the kids and family members as well having
Officer Preve from Epsom PD do a bicycle safety course. It was a
huge success.

roll. This program is open to the public, an opportunity for some

More Thank Yous From Epsom Gardens
Submitted By Nancy Heath
Master Gardener Advisor, UNH Cooperative Extension
Every time I see the Girl Scout Garden, I think of a song from
Broadway musical Oklahoma. Remember “June is busting out all over...
?” I have heard countless comments regarding their gardens.
Similarly, comments most often made are to the ‘tune’ of “girl
scout garden is busting out all over!”
I want to add my thanks to all those who contributed materials &
services: Chris & Heather Bowes and Steve & Kat Hall for donating
lumber; Kenny Brown for his loader to fill raised beds; K&K
Landscape Supplies for garden soil; Pleasant View Gardens for
seedlings.
I can’t imagine anybody being disappointed regarding their
donations! The Scouts are harvesting the gardens twice a week now
and giving harvest to Epsom Food Pantry. YOU GO GIRLS!
