Junior Friends’ Achievements 2005

January 2005:  All active members of the Junior Friends group attended the meeting today.  Thanks to my helper, Lynn Tocco, we created a beautiful bulletin board for the children’s area.  We sponge-painted snowmen on blue paper and made it look like they were headed to a library.  Sticks and felt were used on the snowmen to give them a 3-D look.

February 2005:  Junior Friends decorated new blown-out eggs for the “Egg Tree” that is in the children’s area.  After they finished that they washed a few board books.

March 2005: 18 helpers today!  Had the Junior Friends pull children’s Easter books for the display area.  After that we had a great time (and productive time) sorting and filing date due cards.

April 2005:  Sorted and filed date due cards.

May 2005:  Created “Spring into Reading” bulletin board for the children’s area.

June 2005:  Only six Junior Friends in attendance (my oversight, I forgot to send out meeting reminders).  Those that were in attendance, created 4th of July cards that I brought to the Westgate Nursing Home.

July 2005:  Washed board books

August 2005:  Created paper chains and other decorations and helped out at the Summer Reading Sock Hop Party

September 2005:  Created “Nuts about Reading” display (bulletin board) for the children’s area.

October 2005:  Junior Friends made ornaments for the Town Hall Annual Tree Lighting Ceremony.  We made pinecone owls, puzzle piece wreaths and pinecone trio ornaments. 

November 2005:  Junior Friends made environmentally friendly ornaments for the Town Hall’s outside tree.  They will be put on the tree at the tree lighting ceremony.

December 2005:  Elections for new officers.  Results are as follows:  Matt M. and Charlene T. are co-presidents, Beth L. is secretary and Keyonna D. is phone person.
