What a strange winter it has been so far – snow, sleet, rain, and wind swirling around us. At times everything is frozen solid, then a warm spell with have everything dripping. It is lovely when the day sets up for a nice walk, however!

In clarification of the warning for our 3/6 Annual Meeting, articles 2 – 7 will be voted on Monday evening by those attending. The positions noted in Article 1 will be voted by Australian ballot on Tuesday, 3/7

The reading group will be discussing The Only Woman in the Room by Marie Benedict on Wed, 2/15 at 6:30. It centers around Hedy Lamarr, her life as Hitler moves into Austria, then her escape to the US and attempts to influence radar innovations. 

Join the Farm and Wilderness Ice Cutting at Flying Cloud Sat, 2/18 from 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM to increase your knowledge and enjoy winter!

Need something else fun to add to your calendar? Consider the Plymouth Emergency Services free community spaghetti dinner on Saturday, 2/18 from 5:30 – 7:30 at the Plymouth Town hall. This group of volunteers provides many services to our town. Some of their calls require them to check properties when alarms are set off or wires are down, which means needing to go to our more isolated areas, where 4 wheel drive is definitely needed.

Some of our fire dept folks have recently participated in cold water rescue training. In addition, they are called out when accidents occur and have also helped with search and rescue, plus assisting in mutual aid situations. Always willing to lend a hand, their assistance has been requested for recent water leaks and furnace malfunctions. They do have a meter that tests CO, propane and methane levels, too. Let’s support them and maybe even consider joining their ranks!
