NEW GROUPS THAT WILL START MEETING IN JANUARY
The “Knit-Wits” Knitting Circle– Will meet once a
month (the second Wednesday of the Month) starting
Wednesday, January 12th at 10am. This will be a group with
mixed levels. It will be a chance to knit together with others, learning ideas off each other and just enjoying the camaraderie. Please email me at sgould@oldlyme-ct.gov OR
call (860)434-4127 and let us know if you can attend our kickoff get together January 12th at 10am. Feel free to bring some of your finished projects to share with the group and any you want to work on during this get together.
“Quilty” Pleasures Quilting Group– Will meet once a
month (the third Wednesday of the Month) starting on
January 19th at 10am. If you are interested please let me
know. My thought is that it could be a group of people that
would come together to work on their individual projects.
You would need to bring your own sewing machine although we MAY have one for people to share if needed. This
group would give people a chance to share your quilting passion, borrow
ideas off each other and even in the future could look at hire guest instructors for a specific project if that is what the group wants. Please email me
at sgould@oldlyme-ct.gov OR call (860)434-4127 and let us know if you
can attend our kickoff get together January 19th at 10am. Feel free to
bring some of your finished projects to share with the group and any you
want to work on during this get-together.
“Girls Gone Scrappy” Scrapbooking & Papercraft
Group– Will meet once a month (the fourth Wednesday of
the Month) starting Wednesday, January 26th at 10am.
Please email me at sgould@oldlyme-ct.gov OR call (860)
434-4127 and let us know if you can attend our kickoff get together January 26th at 10am. Bring your own consumable supplies (ink, paper, glue sticks or whatever you like to use) and reusable supplies (like stamps) to share during our get-together. This will be a
great time to get ideas from others and get our creative juices flowing as
well .

JANUARY VOLUNTEER OF THE MONTH- OBIE HILL
We would like to recognize Obie for being such a fantastic volunteer and always
giving his all to us. He began coming to our center in 2002 to play cards. In 2006, he
become a volunteer, he felt that the center was such a nice place to go that he wanted
to give back and do his part to keep it up. Obie feels that it is important for folks to
show their value and prove that they are an asset to the community by volunteering.
Obie is often seen setting up for events, collecting bottles and turning them in for
Club 55, prepping for Club 55 fund raisers. He does anything he can that the staff
needs with a smile on his face. Obie stated that “I enjoy doing what I do and it gives
me a great feeling!”
A veteran, he retired after twenty –one years of Submarine Service. He has been a
member of the Sub Vets since 1964, also volunteering his time with Sub Vets events
and fundraisers.
For many years, Obie has been a mentor to children from broken homes. He has gained family members doing
this and takes great pride in being able to help shape these children and watch them grow into successful adults.
Obie enjoys hobbies like stamp collecting, postal history, computers and records. When Obie had a youngster at

lift people up away from bad times so that they can look to a brighter future!” Thank you Obie for all you do!
