Annual Book & Bake Sale ~ August 1st

A reminder that next Saturday, Aug. 1 is the annual Book and Bake Sale, raising funds for our island library.

Thank you, in advance, to the volunteers.  Many hands make light work, so they say.

I have a number of folks helping by donating baking.  Thank you, thank you.

If you would like to donate baking, you could let me know or bring it to the hall Saturday.  

The sale begins at 10.

See you there! Celine 246-4349

"The oldest scientifically verified vine in the world is the Old Vine in Maribor, Slovenia and which is estimated to be around 400 years old. The vine grows by the river on the front of a house in Lent and is a symbol for the city's rich wine culture. The vine features on an illustration dating back to 1681 and still yields 16-25lbs of grapes."

Summer Sting Safety Tip

Lots of yellow jackets and black bald-faced hornet wasps are already around this summer. That means more people are getting stung. Not all stings will result in an allergic reaction.  Not all allergic reactions will progress to serious anaphylaxis. Localized swelling can be dealt with by ice and an anti-histamine.  

Epi-pens can be life-saving for persons with known serious reactions to wasp stings and those persons will have a prescription for the drug.  Epinephrine can also be life-threatening for persons with certain medical conditions, which is why a doctor must prescribe the drug. Epi pens must be in-date and stored under a certain temperature to be effective.

To avoid wasp stings on the tongue and face, which seems to be the most popular location this summer, don't drink out of a can.  Pour your drink or your children's drinks into a glass first. Then you can see before you sip.
