A Maymont Hall fundraiser will be held Feb. 9. Come join us from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Maymont Hall for Shrove Tuesday.
Shrove Tuesday, also called Pancake Day, Fat Tuesday and Mardi Gras – French for Fat Tuesday – is the last day of feasting before Lent begins on Ash Wednesday. Shrove Tuesday is observed mainly in English-speaking countries, especially Ireland, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the United States, but also in the Philippines and Germany. Because Shrove Tuesday is linked to Easter, its date changes each year. The date can vary from as early as Feb. 3 to as late as March 9.
Maymont Hall will also host a beef supper March 20. Supper will be at 5 p.m. and the cost will be $15. Make sure to mark this on your calendar; tickets available from hall members until March 10.
Ruddell held their potluck supper Jan. 26. Family and friends enjoyed supper, and cards and games followed. Thank you to all who came out and to the ladies who organized the event.
Maymont library is participating in the Lakeland Library Region’s winter reading escape. From Jan. 2 to Feb. 29, every three books checked out will enter your name into a draw. The tagline is Come Read With Us.
