TIPS & TRICKS FOR DOWNSIZING & DECORATING YOUR NEW SPACE: Have you come to the point in life where you’re considering downsizing and don’t know where to begin? Presenters Lisa Sears and Kerri Durkee will provide a guide to the process of downsizing–before, during, and after the move. Come to the Library on Thursday, June 23^rd at 6:00 PM to learn some important steps to take and receive resources to help you make the transition smoother and more efficient and enjoyable.

About the presenters:  Lisa Sears is a Real Estate Agent at Better Homes & Gardens The Masiello Group.

4. After 30 minutes, participants get to walk around to look at their fellow participants sculptures and write their favorite on a raffle ticket.

5. Raffle will be drawn at the end of the program.
