There is a raffle for a five frame nuc which has Louisiana bees and an Ohio queen, and a package of Italian Bees. For a $5 ticket this could be yours. The meeting is the first Thursday of May at the Tuftonboro Library from 6:30 to 8:30pm. Wendy Booth, Beekeeper of the Year in 2008 will be attending the meeting. To become a member there is a $15 annual fee ($20 per family) but all are welcome to attend the meeting. The 2015 Carroll County Activities Day was a grand success. Four presenters from 4-H did such a great job they have qualified to present at the State Activities Day in May.

On May 1 at 7pm and May 3 at 2pm the Mount Washington Choral Society will hold its concert at the Episcopal Church in North Conway.

As you have probably read, Danielle Shannon is back in New England. She is undergoing further treatment at the New England Rehabilitation Center in Portland, Maine for her brain injury. Although she is not able to see all her friends at this time, cards might be acceptable.

Kudos to Cameron Schaffner for making the dean’s list at Becker College. Keep up the good work Cameron!

As she has done for several years when spring arrives, an Albany good samaritan has done a great job at cleaning up along Route 16. Thank you from all of us.

Take advantage of these lovely days of spring. Have a great week!
