OTHER NEWS


From the Education Committee

THANK YOU  to the residents of our little island for supporting the Scholarship Fund during the recent yardsale and town meeting. We took in almost $2100.00 from the sale of items donated and actual cash donations. We continue to be grateful for the generosity of our neighbors. 

We appreciate the townspeople’s approval of the increase in the award to our students, increasing from $2000.00 to $3000.00. We all know the cost of higher education is climbing and are pleased to be able to help our graduates. This years recipients are :
Danielle D’Souza- Northeastern University
Ren Kauffunger- Yale University
Isabella Morton- University of Rhode Island

Congratulations! 

The Arrowsic Education Committee

ARSWC Tip of the Month

In Arrowsic, we decided many years ago that yard waste would not collected with curbside pickup. Landfilled organic matter undergoes anaerobic decomposition, generating potent greenhouse gasses. Meanwhile, grass clippings, leaves, weeds, and branches are, in fact, a precious resource which can be mulched directly into a lawn, composted or scattered in the woods to help build rich soil on our island. 

Call for Submissions –– Summer Arrow

The next issue of the Arrow, our town’s independent newsletter, will be published next month. Please send anything you would like to contribute–articles, reports, notices, upcoming meetings—by June 29th to Karin Sadtler kasadtler@yahoo.com

Items for the Community News column, including births, deaths, graduations, personal activities, and other items of interest are requested.

We are especially interested in notes from new residents, introducing themselves and telling us why they moved to Arrowsic or what they particularly like about Arrowsic. Just a few lines is fine.

The Arrow is always looking for writers who wish to contribute, either occasionally or regularly. We would also very much like to include your favorite pictures from around the island.

And we are continuing to expand our Arts coverage and welcome your artwork, photos, poems, or stories. Please send those to Sharif Elmusa at selmusa@gmail.com.
