Stone Soup Kitchen Ministries

  Good morning! I hope you were all able to spend some time with family and friends this past weekend, and that you did everything you could to keep cool. We worry about some of our friends when the temperatures soar like they did, but just a reminder...you can tell anyone you know who is at risk that the police stations and/or fire stations usually have cooling rooms. You can double check with your own town before the next wave arrives so that you will have the information available to share. We now have a date, place, and vendor (woot!!) set for our First Annual Cops and Cones event. It's scary when you have to pick a date and place first, get that all set, and then aren't sure if anyone will have the date free. August 19, 7 to 8pm, the first ballfield at Pirone Park, catered by...(fanfare please)...the amazing West Side Creamery of Acton! They use an old refurbished milk truck! Isn't that adorable? So please put that date on your calendars now and plan to com...

  Good morning everyone! What a busy weekend we had...but a really good one. It started off with a visit from Susie, one of our Nashoba nurses, who came and talked with each person at dinner who wanted a consultation or had questions. We are going to do this quarterly, and of course Susie also reminded us that any of us can always call them personally to ask questions (978-772-3335). Susie was especially concerned that we all be aware of ticks, as there seems to be a banner crop this year :-( On Saturday, our friend Jin came to talk with anyone who needed help figuring out how to balance their bank account statement or checkbook. She would like the community to know that if you were unable to make it on Saturday, she would be very happy to help you at a mutually convenient time. Just email us, and we will put you in touch! We are very grateful that people like these friends are willing to come and help out with various topics. Please let us know if there are other ...

Good morning! What a relief today is from all of the recent heat and humidity. And pollen...yikes! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend, especially after the humidity broke on Sunday. We had our "end of the year" picnic at Saint Andrew's Episcopal Church in Ayer on Sunday, and the breeze and the shade made it a lovely event. I have a couple of reminders this morning, and a couple of news items to bring to everyone's attention.   Reminder #1: Nashoba Associated Boards of Health nurses will be doing wellness checks, including things like checking blood pressure and answering questions, Friday June 19 from 4 to 5 pm at Stone Soup Kitchen. No appointments needed. Everyone welcome. No fees.   Reminder #2: Our friend Jin H will be on hand Saturday morning, June 20, from 10 to noon to help you make sense of all those numbers the bank sends you each month. No registration or appointment necessary: just stop in, have some coffee and a donut, and get your qu...
