Hope you all had a nice week.  It turned out nice for the Memorial Day parades, even with the rain for Mildred.  They moved theirs under the Pavilion behind the Legion, so all was good.  Thanks to Gerald Maloney for his excellent speech in Lopez.  It was very well attended.   Hope you got to attend at least one of the services to honor those for their sacrifice to keep us free.  Looks like we may be in for some rain during the week.  It changes daily so will just have to wait and see what Mother Nature has in store for us.

Congratulations to the Lopez graduates, Bryson Charles, Charles Armioia, and Enrico Captiotti.  Good luck in your future endeavors.

This is the last week of school and kids will be home for the summer.  Please slow down when going through town.  You never know where the kids might be.  Just take a little more time.  Leave a little earlier.  Keep our kids safe.  There is no reason to be a speed demon.

I see the gardens are coming along and getting planted.  Hopefully, everyone will have lots of produce for the summer and winter.

Volunteers are need for Old Home Day, the first Saturday in August.  Can you spare some time to help out?  If interested, please call Jodi at 570- 971-5002.  Any help will be appreciated.

Happy Birthday to Lydia Stasiak, 5th; Lynn Malkemes, 8th; and Matt Dayton, 10th.  Have a nice day.

Saturday is the Lopez Community Yard Sale.  Hope to see you there.  Take a stroll, or ride, around town and see what kind of treasurers you may find.  9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The humming birds are really taking advantage of the feeders.  Have seen them around all day long.  Did get to see a couple of deer in the field.  No turkeys so far.  Had a baby ground hog running around so watch your garden.  They like to get in there and destroy the plants.

Next Civic meeting will be on June 19th, 6 p.m., at the Pavilion.  Old Home Day plans in the making.  Hope you can make it.

Guess that’s it for now.  Enjoy your week, whatever you may be doing.  I know with all the rain we’ve been having, lawns will need mowing.  Baskets and flower beds are looking so pretty.  Love all the colors.  Have news, give me a call at 570-928-9238; mail me; see me; or e-mail me at news@lopezpa.com.  I will get it in for you.  Thanks for reading and I’ll be here next time.
