  Good day! I only have a few things to catch you up on this week. The first is a reminder that our friend Rachel K will be going to speak to the Ayer Select Board tomorrow evening, Tuesday June 2, about her Garden Gleaners. The meeting starts at 6pm at the Ayer Town Hall, and the Public Comment agenda item is near the very beginning, so please drop in if you can! Next, our friend Jin H has offered to do a drop-in workshop on Saturday June 20 during our regular pantry hours, 10 to noon. She will be assisting people in learning how to balance bank statements...and your checkbook if you still use one (I do!). She will help you make sense of all those numbers the bank sends you each month. No registration or appointment is necessary: just stop in, have some coffee and a donut, and get your questions answered! Everyone is welcome and there are no fees. Parking is next to Shepherd of the Valley Church, on Newton Street. Walk up Washington St to the first blue door and come ...

Good day! A scam email dropped into my box this morning and I want to warn you about it. No, I didn't click on it, so if you are on my email list, you don't have to worry *at this time* about getting this particular scam email "from" me. However, that doesn't mean that I won't fall for a scam in the future, as scam artists seem to have evermore clever ways to fool us. If you think you can't be fooled, that's when you're vulnerable! Because we are a relatively small organization, I haven't worried too much about it up until now. However, in addition to the fake party evite I got today, I also received a request for gift cards "from my pastor" a few weeks ago. It wasn't from her, of course. So here's the details on these scams: Take a look at the screen shot above (don't worry, it's just a picture, not a live link to the scam site). See how non-specific it is? I'm invited to a "Special Party"!!...
