The Parks & Rec Bowling Buddies and Second Baptist Fellowship Group are pictured in the Selectmen’s Meeting Room, where the group enjoyed their “End of Winter Party and Movie Night.”
Some members of the Parks and Recreation Bowling Buddies and Second Baptist Fellowship Group had an enjoyable evening at the “End of Winter Party and Movie Night” at Town Hall on March 10. We watched the inspiring movie- “Team Everest: A Himalayan Journey” that was about a remarkable group of adventurers of various abilities on an expedition to the world’s highest mountain to Everest Base Camp. The group also enjoyed delicious pizza from Francesco’s, healthy snacks and hot chocolate. A fun night was had by all.
