Thanks to some great work by Ann Mary, Jerome, the Woods, and Dave Mc our tree is set up and looking festive.  We’re sure we’ll be the envy of all the other decorators.

A one mile or three mile walk – your choice! Registration opens at 7am and the walk starts at 8am. Looking for team participants for this great cause.  No Registration fee or fundraising minimum.  They do ask participants to collect donations.  Please let Eileen know if you are interested in participating

Join us for our monthly Beach Cleanup at Wallis Sands Beach in Rye, NH. Under the guidence of Blue Ocean Society we’ve picked up hundreds of pounds of trash!!

Join in as Portsmouth celebrates the Harvest Season! There will be a unique display of scarecrows throughout the city. We’ll be making and displaying our own Tropical Scarecrow as well as volunteering to deliver and set up scarecrows in the entire city on October 16. Details TBA.

Update:

Our scare crow is up and looks phabulous. We wish you to note that this is a scare Crow and a scare Flamingo! Next time you’re in Portsmouth cruise by and check her out.  Her tropical ensemble is sure to keep her and all who visit her warm and cozy inside. Unless I”m mistaken, her cup o pumpkin juice is looking a bit parched.  Perhaps Phenius the Phlamingo has been sneaking one too many sips.
