In today’s Community Current:
Library events have their own designated page - so many amazing programs at our local libraries, many repeat week to week, so I want you to have a spot to quickly reference them. We will still highlight some events in the newsletter.
Do you have a hidden talent? Mark your calendars for Fosters Got Talent Tryouts coming this weekend. Tryout for a spot in the Talent Show at Foster Old Home Days.
We have a great outdoor concert lineup with events in multiple communities.
Glocester Rec Flag Football Clinic takes place this week. Sign ups
