EATON column by Nancy E.

Good morning! I am sorry
to say that because of an uptick in COVID cases around the area,
everyone’s favorite event, “Kayaks and Casseroles,”
will be postponed until the fall. They thought perhaps they could
do it in June, but the beach will be crowded for summer, so they
decided to do it in the fall. Two good things: the beach will
be way less crowded and there will be no bugs. The plan will
be to kayak around the lake and back to the Eaton Beach for the
casserole part. That’s something we can all be looking forward
to.
Mark your calendars
for the next concert at our Little White Church, “Love and
Nostalgia.” This will be an inspiring Sunday afternoon
concert on June 12th at 4:00 p.m., featuring world-renowned pianist,
Laura Kargul, and Portland String Quartet founding member and
violinist, Ronald Lantz. The program will open with the majestic
Sonata No 1 in G Major OP. 78 by Johannes Brahms, written by
the great Romantic composer to comfort the love of his life,
Clara Schumann. The full concert includes works by European,
Argentinian, and American composers, equally sharing themes of
love and remembrance. Tickets are $25 and available now at White
Birch Books, the Eaton Village Store, and on line at www.littlewhitechurch.com
The Eaton Village Store
has some great surprises for you: strawberry, mango, and banana
smoothies, 6 or 12 in. subs of many varieties, and fresh salads
galore with various toppings to choose from. Please do yourself
a favor and come down to try these delicious items. Also, EVS
is still looking for a Busser/Dishwasher/Cleaner for Tuesday,
Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.;
Saturday 8 to 1, and Sunday 9 until noon. On their agenda is
a position called Expediter for Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday,
and Saturday, 9 to 1. Please stop by the restaurant in person
Tuesday through Friday between 2 and 4. Get to meet everyone
in town, make some new friends, and have a good time as well.
Rachel Fall from Chalmers
Insurance Group wants to remind you of their 2nd annual blood
drive on 5/23/22. This will take place at 940 Rte. 16, Ossipee,
NH.
Mid summer brings two
more exhilarating concert opportunities. On Tuesday, July 12
at 7 p.m. the Little White Church welcomes the return of Village
Harmony. This spirited group of teenagers and their international
leaders will delight the audience with music, both familiar and
unknown from all over the world.
Then on Sunday, July
24 at 4 p.m. Theo Martey (featured recently on the cover of NH
Magazine) leads the Akwaaba Traditional African Drum and Dance
Ensemble in a performance that will undoubtedly raise the roof
of the LWC. Stay tuned for more music and events to come. Visit
the LWC website www.littlewhitechurch.com for more information
on all of these exciting concerts.
The LWC is committed
to playing an important role in the life of the community. As
we emerge from COVID, we are planning concerts, recitals, and
community gatherings. All of this takes a lot of effort and it
is all undertaken by volunteers. If you can offer some time and
skills to help, even if on a limited basis, we would love to
hear from you. You can reach us by email at infolwcenh@gmail.com
Eaton now has started
a service list of businesses and individuals who provide services
to Eaton residents. Eaton residents can now recommend a service
with their contact information to BGservicelist@gmail.com The
list will be posted on Eaton Ears once a month. To get on Eaton
Ears if you have not already done so, residents can email eatonears@gmail.com
to be put on the list. The list is being coordinated by Betsy
Gemmecke who is a volunteer with the MWV Age Friendly Communities
Initiative, sponsored by the Gibson Center for Senior Services.
Their mission is to combine the talents and resources from the
12 area towns to “further develop the Mount Washington Valley
as a place for people of all ages and abilities to thrive.”
Eaton is one of the 12 towns in MWV to participate. The Initiative
has also developed the Aging Services Resource Guide for Mt.
Washington Valley, a list of age friendly walking trails by town
and more. Check out https://www.gibsoncenter. for more information.
Well, how does everyone
like our spring, sprang, sprung weather jumping to these hot
and humid days? (I know you will mostly disagree with me, but
I’d rather have a foot of snow than a very hot, very humid
day.) So much for spring. I haven’t heard much about the
Eaton Beach yet, but I know Lane and Suzanne are ready to take
on the crowds.
