 | Joan’s Remembrance Quilt |
There is a new Raffle Quilt on display at the East Kingston Public Library. Once again, Sarabel Lazor has pieced a lovely quilt to be used as a fundraiser for the library. Her work has special significance this year because the fabrics were donated by the family of Joan Kasinskas. During her lifetime, Joan served on the library's board of trustees and was a staunch supporter of the East Kingston Public Library. Many books from her personal quilting library now grace the library's shelves for the community to share. Sarabel has taken Joan's reproduction fabrics in a rich palette of rust, cream and blue to fashion a star quilt that would complement either a antique home or a modern dwelling. the quilt is currently on display at the library and raffle tickets will be sold throughout the year. Drawing will be held on November 24, 2013 Tickets: 1=$1 / 6=$5 / 15=$10 / 35=$20

| Whole Foods Nutrition Talk by Sara Oski |
| Monday, May 20th, 7:00 PM at the East Kingston Public Library |
Are you interested in learning more about a different approach for healthy eating? Everyone knows that the foundation of great health is great nutrition. We all try to do our best to eat well on a daily basis, but it isn’t always an easy thing to accomplish. What you put in your body impacts everything about you. It determines how you feel every day, your frame of mind, energy level, how well you ward off illness and even your outlook on life. With so much at stake and so much information out there - often confusing and conflicting - it’s hard to know which way to turn to get it right. And getting it right is crucial because your health and well being depend on it. Sara will guide you through the nutrition maze, help you separate fact from fiction and put you on the right track toward exceptional health and wellness. Sara is a graduate of the University of New Hampshire with a BA in Psychology and a minor in Nutrition. She is passionate about expanding her knowledge of whole foods nutrition and effective nutrition therapy. Sara is certified as a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner by the Nutritional Therapy Association. Her background includes extensive experience in all aspects of small organic farming in the New England area.
