We’re looking forward to seeing you at Fair Day, on Saturday, August 6, either as a volunteer or as a fairgoer! For volunteer opportunities (and there are plenty!), call me at 365-4455.

Effie Chamberlin, Auction Chair and Stan Holt, Fair Day Chair

This premium NCR Cash Register, which was machine-manufactured in about 1910, will be up for bid at the Auction on Fair Day. Our thanks to Mark Richards of The Richards Group, who, along with his father, found the cash register when they purchased the former Barber’s General Store building in Wilmington, VT, years ago. Mark & Liz Richards also donated a Troy Carriage Works horse-drawn sleigh for the Auction.

Three people stepped forward with donations of multiple pieces of artwork, in response to our plea in the last issue of Cottage Door. Perhaps you, too, have some special artwork that “hangs” in your attic or storage closet because your taste in art has changed. Give us a call; we’ll be happy to pick it up.

The White Elephant Booth, Book Booth and Clothing Booth are all soliciting donations at this time. Tim McNulty and Larry Robinson of Newfane have volunteered to use their brawn and their trucks to pick up any Fair Day donations, so call me and I’ll coordinate your schedule with theirs.

MEMBERSHIP DRIVE UNDERWAY
The Auxiliary Membership Letter has just been mailed out to 1,600 people. If you didn’t receive a letter and would like to be added to the list, call Barb Barber at 365-4707.

THANK YOU, CINDY STAFFORD
Longtime Auxiliary member Cindy Stafford has recently retired from her volunteer position of Auxiliary Treasurer, and has turned the reigns over to Mike Adrian. Cindy, your years of devoted service to the Auxiliary are greatly appreciated!
