Selby News

* National Pretzel Day is 26 March and it's our Happy Hour theme! Pretzels are made from baked bread dough and the yummy little morsels are shaped  in a unique knot to represent hands in prayer. One story has the pretzel being first made in 610AD by an Italian monk who gave them out to children as a reward for learning their prayers. He called them "pretiola" or "little rewards".

* Selby Easter-at-the-Beach will be on Saturday, 19 April from 11:00am until 1:00pm. A sign up sheet for baked goods and volunteers will be available shortly. We need several volunteers to help with activities. Adults as well as older children and teens are welcome. Stay tuned for details coming shortly!

* Summer programs at the Selby Community Center. We would like to have a "summer camp" at the community center this summer. This would give our Selby kids some fun things to do close to home. If you have a special talent or skill and would like to lead a class, then please contact me (Tracie) at SelbyBay@gmail.com. We are looking for activities for ALL age ranges and especially middle school age. Crafts, sports, exercise, reading, science experiments, educational...what can you contribute?

* Selby Blog. I've been developing the Selby Blog for quite some time and really haven't figured out it's purpose until now. The blog is perfect for getting news out to Selby without every piece of electronics in your house bleeping with every new comment. The blog will carry Selby news, but comments are restricted.
