WHAT’S
HAPPENING

repair has been completed. Next up is to take care of the powder post beetle
problem in the vestibule of the church; replace the belfry roof; assess repair
needs on the roof and to paint the door and shutters.

| These were most likely the original doors to the museum, which were modified with panes of glass. The new double hung doors will be solid, similar to the doors at the Cavendish Stone Church, which was built around the same time. |
Museum: Under Dave Stern’s guidance, work has begun to
replace the single door with period correct double hanging doors. Thanks to
Carl Liener, the transom window over the door is being reglazed and painted.
Nothing is ever simple with a building of this age, but little by little
progress is being made and it wont be long before the new doors will be
installed.
Carmine
Guica Young Historians: A series of activities are being planned with the 6th
graders including a panel on immigration; recording of Cavendish ghost stories
with LPC-TV; day long cleaning of debris and placing flags on veterans’ graves
in Cavendish maintained cemeteries; and making poppies for Memorial Day.

Annual
Plant Sale: Thanks once
again to our “plant whisperers” Svetlana and Kem Phillips, we will have
something new to offer at this year’s Plant Sale-Chestnut trees. We begin to
transplant after Mother’s Day so if you have plants you’d like to donate,
please contact us. If you have pots you can donate, leave them by the door to
the Museum. Once again we will offer container tomato plants and you will be
able to pre order.
