Members and friends of Pasquaney Garden Club gath- ered recently to honor the gift of over three decades of service from Master Gardeners Judy Kraemer and Shirley Yorks. Gathered at the Minot Sleeper Library, the group shared remembrances of some of the outstanding projects these two women were involved in and enjoyed cake and refresh- ments. Club President Barbara Carpenter explained the club’s intention to honor the two ladies with a dedication tree in the But- terfly Garden. Judy and Shirley then participated in the selection of Acer Palmatum Dissectum (Japanese Thread-Leaf Maple), which will be planted in the But- terfly Garden.

The Plymouth Town Wide Yard Sale, always held the Sat- urday after Labor Day, is a tra- dition that brings visitors to the Plymouth area, stimulates com- munity spirit, raises awareness of housing needs and solutions, and introduces people to the Bridge House Shelter and its many ser- vices. Bridge House Ladders, Step Ladders, and Flip’n Fur- niture are thrift businesses that
made many notable contribu- tions to community life in the Newfound area. On this occa- sion, Pasquaney Garden Club wanted to highlight some of those particular importance to the club.

The stretch of land between the parking lot and the river bed had been long ne- glected and large items of trash overgrown with weeds were a sad and dangerous setting. With help from members, neighbors and the Town, Judy inspired the clean-up of the river edge, res-
