THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK

MEMORY PARK NEWS: 

     Thank you to all who came out last week to help us move the picnic bench and reset the StoryWalk Panels. Boy, did WE get lucky! A group of strong workmen were in the park fixing the walkways, and when they saw us attempting to move that heavy table, the 5 of them picked it up, raised it over their heads, and had it in its new position in no time. We all dug in our pockets, pooled our money and bought them lunch! We then spent our time with the much easier work of re-positioning the signs. MUCH less physical. 

"StoryWalk Phase II" is up at Memory Park. The StoryWalk is a young readers book with pages laminated to a sign. The child moves along the walk reading each page. 
This project, in conjunction  with The Friends of The Charles B Stewart Library , will be a wonderful new addition to Memory Park, and will be accomplished in three phases. For Phase II, the picnic bench has been moved to this area and the stakes have been rearranged into a longer walk centered around in the bench.  This will allow young children to come and read the pages during summer vacation months while we work on Phase III, which will be a cheery, colorful garden in this space, with the book pages as part of a permanent, rotating installation.
