 Raynham Community Pride Day: All Call!

                  null                               

          This letter is to invite you to the Annual Raynham Community Pride Day celebration.  Pride Day allows area businesses and civic organizations to show their commitment to the greater Raynham/Taunton community.  Here are just a few reminders to assist you with your preparations for the Pride Day festivities.

  • You are responsible to bring your own table and chairs
  • Someone must be at your table at all times
  • You may dispense any information you wish about your business/organization
  • Feel free to display an assortment of items from your business
  • You may take orders from people and hand out catalogs about your business, but there are NO direct sales allowed, except for non-profit organizations.
  • You may decorate your table in any manner you wish, provided it is in good taste
  • You may bring a canopy to protect you from the weather
  • You may bring a banner and display it at your booth
  • You may run a free raffle at your booth to attract people

 

Raynham Community Pride Day will be held in the Borden Colony Gazebo Park on King Philip Street on Sunday, Sept. 21 from 1 until 4 PM.  In case of inclement weather we will reschedule the event for Sunday, Sept. 28.  You must be set up by noon. We usually draw more than 3500 to this free event. In the past it has been a day of fun and excitement for all involved. We look forward to seeing you for the 2014 edition.

** Although there is no charge to participate in Pride Day we are asking that all participants bring a donation of a can or other nonperishable food item to help the Raynham Food Basket **

      We are asking everyone interested in participating to send an e-mail to kfe3553@aol.com to let us know you will be involved.  If you have any questions please call me at 508-823-6354.

 

Respectfully Submitted, Kevin F. Ellis

Historical Tidbit :    
 
The iron works were the dominant industry in the town for more than two centuries. The importance that was attached to iron works is apparent from the town seal which depicts the iron works along with the date 1652. The Raynham iron works were not the oldest in the state.
 Iron works in Lynn, Saugus and Braintree were started prior to those in Raynham. However, the iron works in Raynham have the distinction of being the iron "manufactory" that was in continuous operation for the longest period of time. The iron works continued to operated in Raynham until 1873.

Summer Flick Picks

The Fault In Our Stars.  

 

Hazel and Augustus are two adorable teens that fall in love.  The sweetness of young love is felt when watching the two in the movie, The Fault In Our Stars.  The movie follows the book quite closely.  We are left feeling the courage and sadness of their story.

The film is rated PG and is produced by 20th Century Fox

 Parent Tips For Sending Teens to College

 

Many families have just celebrated the milestone
achievement of High School Graduation with their teenage child. For  those  families with  teens planning  to attend college in the fall,  this past year has been filled  with applications, faculty  recommendations,  SAT/ACT exams, visits to  college  campuses and  waiting to learn about both  acceptance decisions and  financial aid packages. The stress of not knowing which college the teen will attend is replaced by possible anxiety of the reality of the pending move to college and separation that accompanies that move. Now with High School Graduation over, the summer is a time for families to spend time together; connect and to discuss what this next "chapter" in the life of their family will be like. Teens look forward to more independence and autonomy and moving away from home, however, there are also questions of who will their roommate be; what will the classes really be like, keeping up with   academic workloads, managing finances and doing their own laundry.  Parents continue to be a vital support to their teens during this transition and there are many resources on-line to help you navigate this upcoming year.  For a free video program on this topic from Harlen Cohen, author of "The Naked Roommate: & 107 Other Issues You Might Run Into in College," visit:  www.nakedroommate.com . This video program has sections for both parents and teens. You are able to access the overview content and the "First Simple Rule" without sharing your email address, to view the full content you need to share your email address to obtain a password.

Controlling  Ants Naturally  In Your Home  

 

Ants can build a mound quickly, and travel hundreds of feet from their mound looking for small cracks in windows, door frames and home foundations. Regardless of how clean you keep your home, the inevitable crumb will find its way into your carpet or along your baseboards--attracting ants.

 

Non-Toxic Ways To Get Rid of Ants: Green Home Pest Control Methods: All ants navigate by the use of pheromones. Disrupting the ants' navigation system will often result in the ants becoming lost and not able to find their way back to their colony. A colony losing large numbers in this manner, or having trouble foraging due to navigation issues, will often move to a safer area. Some common, non-toxic household substances that disrupt ant navigation and also prevent future ants from navigating through the same area are:

  • Baby powder
  • Chili powder
  • Cloves
  • Mint oil
  • Simple Green spray
  • Vinegar
  • Cinnamon
  • Pepper
These substances can be sprinkled or sprayed along baseboards, in cupboards and pantries, behind appliances, and anywhere else an individual believes ants may be crossing. None of these substances, however, will actually kill the ants. It will just frustrate them and force them to move find a more convenient home.

Ants are a common type of house pest and cheap, non-toxic ways to get rid of ants can be just as effective as expensive and more dangerous methods.
