A week till a tick is fully engorged: On Sept. 18, Assemblyman Angelo Santabarbara and Cornell Cooperative Extension gave a presentation at the Berne Library on Lyme disease with tips on how to minimize the risk and what to do if you find a tick bite.
When the world sits on your stomach, scrinch to the side, thrust up your shoulder, and give the world the Word of the Month Club’s winner for October.
And remember, after you burst up from the rubble, your arms will be thrust up, your head will be thrown back, and you’ll be wearing a million-dollar smile as you fling out VICTORIOUS loud and clear.
Be victorious in your thoughts. Let victorious claim the banner on your white board. Write victorious on the edges of your notebook. Try victorious on for size as October carries you forward.
Story time
Peeking ahead to story time with new story time educator Carrie Needham, you can be sure that leaves are in your future. On Tuesday, Oct. 1, listen to leaves in a book, sway in a leafy fashion and make a leaf inspired craft.
Do you prefer oak, maple or hickory leaves? Bring your favorite leaf to share during story time at 10:30 a.m.
Friends meet
Bouncing over to Oct. 2, it’s an all hands on deck for the Friends of the Berne Library monthly meeting. Anyone interested in helping grow the Berne Library are invited to attend the 7 p.m. meeting. Prepping for the annual lasagna dinner is on the menu. Mark your calendars for Nov. 2 in big red letters so you’ll be sure to snag your tickets early. As with any fundraising crowd, volunteers are valued, appreciated and always welcome.
Art Gallery
Another variety of volunteers include the artists lending their masterpieces to the Friends Art gallery in the community room. There’s just one week left to view September’s featured artist. Sara Chauvot brought us 20 pieces of her artwork with scenery and people from Alaska to Texas, from California to New York and many states in between.
Chauvot and her husband will soon be traveling to warmer climates in her motorhome which contains her art studio on wheels. Follow the artist on her Facebook page at SARACHAUVOT,ARTIST while she travels the country. Also, check to see how she’s doing with her new daily painting challenge. Along with the challenges, Chauvot is busy with commissioned pet portraits. Thanks to all the artists for making the art gallery so welcoming.
