The Sebastian Lodge’s Community Activities Committee held its first community baby shower Aug. 28 in the lodge hall using the Elks National Foundation Spotlight Grant and community donations. Thetargeted demographic was expectant mothers and new mothers in the community who needed some assistance. All participants enjoyed lunch, played baby shower games and received bags filled with baby essentials. Additionally, they each were able to choose from a variety of baby items such as bassinets, highchairs, strollers and more, mostly donated by the community. The event was chaired by Pam Saracene and member volunteers included Mary Fox, Sue Rummel, Audrey Huddy, Kim Baker, Pauline Talbott, Mary Ducharme, Mike Shodlbauer (Elroy), Dan Talbott and Gary Saracene.
