Bugbee Quilters have completed 12 quilts for the victims of Hurricane Katrina. Carol Coski of Quilt-a-Way Quilt Shop, in Westminster, VT, donated fabric for some of the quilts. We also used material that we have here at Bugbee Senior Center. Some quilters   donated tops to be completed for this project. The quilts were given to Judith Harden, who is connected with the ABC Program in VT. She     arranged for the quilts to be shipped to ABC Programs in  Louisiana and Texas, where they will be distributed to the hurricane victims.

Help from all the quilters who participated in any way is greatly appreciated. Also, our thanks to  Carol Coski for the material and to Judith Harden for her help.

Looking Ahead….
Len Berliner will offer two AARP Safe Driving classes at Bugbee Senior Center in May. Class One will meet on Monday and Tuesday, May 15 and 16, from 8AM to Noon; Class Two will meet on Wednesday and Thursday, May 24 and 25, from 8AM to Noon.

To receive a certificate of        completion for the course, which may reduce your car insurance premium, you must complete both sessions of the class.

Pre-registration is necessary and may be done by calling the Center at 295-9068. The $10 fee is payable at the first session of each class.

The "Everybody Wins! Power Lunch" is  a once-a-week , lunchtime read-aloud program that pairs adult volunteers with White River Elementary School students to share good books, conversation, and lunch.
"Everybody Wins! Vermont" is a  privately-funded nonprofit organization devoted to increasing children's prospects for success in school and in life through one-to-one reading experiences. "EW!VT" was the first statewide "EW!" program and the first in a rural location. Launched in October, 2000, today more than 600 adults and 585 students participate in 18 locations each week. Their goal is to serve 700 students by spring 2006.
If you are interested in volunteering or finding out more about this program at WRE, call Shelby or Arlene at (802) 295-8650 or email shelby@everybodywinsvermont.org.
