GIBSON GLEANINGS

 Barbara Ray

June 29, 2012

                 I’m sure most of you remember the old saying, “When life hands you a lemon, make lemonade”.  I was a bit disappointed this year when I realized the 4^th of July fell on a Wednesday but then it suddenly came to me.  Having a day off in the middle of the week is a bit like having two weekends in one week.  Not bad, eh?  How ever you celebrate the upcoming holiday, I hope you have a wonderful time and don’t forget to ‘make lemonade’. 

                Our annual fundraiser at Flatbread’s at the Eastern Slope Inn in North Conwayis coming up on Tuesday July 10^th.  Buy any pizza that day between the hours of 4:00 – 9:00 and a percentage of those sales will go to theGibsonCenter.  It’s a fun time with great food so we hope you will join us.

                As I mentioned earlier we will be closed this Wednesday in celebration of the July 4^th holiday.  Don’t forget to check our calendar below to see what other activities and trips are taking place.  Have a wonderful week and God bless!
