Hi Everyone,

Here we are into the Dog

Days of Summer but, there

are plenty of beautiful

days left in the warm

season that we can fill

with trips, activities and

things to do around

Newmarket and at the

Sunrise Sunset Center.

We’ve had so much fun

taking advantage of the

outdoor concerts, local

theaters and some of the

area restaurants.

We are always trying to

get the word out for

upcoming events and trips

using the newsletter, the

center bulletin board,

Facebook, the website,

channel 13 and even the

local papers. Stop in to see

what’s going on at the

center. There is always

something new happening.

Hope to see you there soon!

~Kim

ly. Similar to Jeopardy type questions, there is one answer

sheet for your team that the group completes together.

ple time for each round. The team with the most points will

be the winner and there will be a tie breaker if necessary.
