Happy 2009!

Well, we weren’t even a week into the new year before some hacker attacked our site (and others hosted by the same Web Host). The result? Google marked our site as being “dangerous”. While they agrred we weren’t spreading malicious code, they listed us as affiliated with a site that was. It was about a week before I even discovered we had a problem. It was necessary to take the site down for about a day while I found the offending code and removed it. Apologies to anyone who was inconvenienced by our being unavailable. Let’s hope the rest of the year is more auspicious.

Members of the Bridgewater Community Lions (BCLC), the Cub Club, and the Greater Bridgewater Leos Club got together this past Saturday and drove to Weymouth in order to clean, read, and catalogue over 200 pairs of eyeglasses which had been previously collected. The organizer of the event was Robin Piccini, a member of the Bridgewater Community Lions. “We had lots of fun on Saturday. Now that everyone feels comfortable reading glasses [with a lens analyzer]; we should be able to read 120 an hour. It was fun watching the kids pick up on it so fast.”

This was our first project to support Make a Difference Day. Thanks to Eye Health Associates of Weymouth who donated the use of the space and equipment in order to allow us to complete this project. The BCLC and the Leos will continue to collect eyeglasses for future “eyeglass reading parties”.

The Bridgewater Community Lions Club (BCLC) will host the First Annual “Arts for Everyone” Festival at the Bridgewater Middle School Gym & Auditorium on Saturday, November 15th from 9 AM to 4 PM. The school is located at the corner of Center and Mt. Prospect Streets, off Route 18 and Route 104.

The Festival will feature an Arts & Crafts Fair in the gymnasium; an art exhibition by the 11-13-year-old contestants of the Lions International Peace Poster contest, and the Bridgewater Senior Painters in the lobby; and a Performance Arts Showcase & Amateur Competition for local youth involved in dance, instrument, and/or voice in the auditorium. Admission will be $2.50 per person; children under age 6 admitted free if accompanied by an adult. Discount coupons are available locally.

The Craft Fair houses 56 vendor booths and will feature fine art work, hand-crafted items, origami, glass and jewelry items, hand-knit items, quilts, oil paintings, cards & photos. There will also be representatives of Pampered Chef, and Silpada jewelry. A limited number of vendor spaces are still available at a cost of $35.00 per 8′ x 12′ space.
Attendees of the festival will have the opportunity to vote on their choice of winner in the Lions Peace Poster contest. Winners will be announced at the end of the festival day.
