Announcements

 

Jim Spiller announced that the club would not meet on Nov. 10 but that the board meeting would go on as scheduled.

 

Spiller said the Soups On program at the Congregational Church is looking for donations and volunteers to help serve dinner the Wednesday before Thanksgiving.

 

The club will cosponsor a Las Vegas Night with the Wells Chamber of Commerce on Nov. 8 at 6:15 at the Coastal House.

 

Billy Hobbs presented two quilts made in Arkansas to Terry Hodskins, ensuring that her Wrap-a-Smile program had gotten a quilt from all 50 states.

 

 

Last week's Speaker

 

Walter Griffin of the Wells-Ogunquit Outreach program was the presenter. He talked about the history of the program and how it began as part of the Wells Health Services program. The program gives food and gift baskets at Thanksgiving and Christmas to needy families in the area. Walter and co-leader Dianna Abbott took over the program last year and served 48 families in Wells and Ogunquit. He said they depend on individuals, churches, businesses and other organizations to step forward and sponsor families in need.

 

 

Thought for the Week

 

And so, my fellow americans: ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country. My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man.

John F. Kennedy, Inaugural address, January 20, 1961
35th president of US 1961-1963 (1917 - 1963)
