Ice Cream Social Sunday August 6th

 

Dear friends and neighbors,

Please join us to support the fund for the Windham Community Day Camp by attending this year’s second ice cream social: Sunday, August 6th from 6 to 8 at the Windham meetinghouse (the white church at the top of the hill).  Payment is happily accepted by donation.

This summer’s camp is finished and was a great success with a total enrollment of 20 kids, directed by Cindy Kehoe and Kathy Jungerman with the youthful assistance of Haley Hescock as well as help from parent, grandparent, and community volunteers.  As in previous years, camp was safe, educational, nutritional, and fun; it seems to get better and better every year.

We hope to see you this coming Sunday to sample six flavors of ice cream in cones, in dishes, in sundaes, and in banana splits.

Best wishes to all,

Claire Trask, Ginny and Dave Crittenden

Caution – Telephone Scam in Area

To our fellow Windham Residents,
“At WCO it was learned that an elderly Windham woman fell prey to a telephone scam in which she actually sent $1500 to someone telling her she won a prize but first had to send them the money. She got suspicious when they called her a 2nd time.  At that point she contacted Neighborhood Connections who has helped her contact the police. Likely nothing will come from it.

Another resident said she too got a call from someone who sounded as if he knew her and when he said something like, “you know who this is” and she said, “Tony?”, the guy pretended to be Tony. . .”

Remember to be vigilant against these kinds of scams and report any suspicious telephone calls to the police.
