Dena Griffin’s name was drawn as recipient of Chester’s Thriftway certificate and Ben Luethe will eat free, thanks to the Site Council.

The fresh produce is being much appreciated by those taking it home. Local gardeners, sharing produce, are Bob McCauley, Jim Maple, Billie Bullard and sorry if I missed anyone. If my tomatoes ever ripen, I’ll be surprised, but is there ever a bumper crop!

Aug. 13 barbecue pork sandwiches will be served and fried fish on Thursday.

To everyone who has stepped forward to keep the Center running so very efficiently, since the cut back in funds, and all who donate money, time and are doing so willingly – again, thank you!
