A Request for YOUR HelpWe are GROWING and so is our need for more Board Members! We are coming to our supporters with a great need. As many of youalready know, a board of directors is crucial to a non-profit agency.The success or failure of Habitat is significantly due to our volun-teers. Without a board of directors, there will be no Habitat in An-droscoggin or Oxford County for people to volunteer with. We havebeen blessed with a very hard working, but extremely small, groupof individuals. Those individuals need some assistance in order forus to thrive and grow in Androscoggin and Oxford Counties. We haveto get more individuals involved on a basic and ground level, or bet-ter known as the board of directors. Our current board wants to ensure that Habitat can successfully support the mem-bers and families of Androscoggin and Oxford Counties. WE CAN NOT DO THAT WITHOUT YOUR HELP!!
New board members don’t have to be on the nuts-and-bolts of home construction (though they certainly can if theywish). We are looking for new board members who can meet monthly to help guide our overall efforts for AHFH, and help
attract the people and energy we need to ensure a vibrant, sustainable future for the families we serve. We are looking for individuals who care about the housing needs of low income families, and about
making our community a better place for these hard-working men, women and children. You mightbe a teacher, a student, a business owner or vendor, a corporate officer, a stay-at-home mom or a re-tiree. It doesn't matter what you do for a living, what matters is what you are willing to give back toyour community. We hope for diversity of experience to help make us stronger. Would you be willingto help? Or do you know someone who would be a good addition to the Habitat Board? We appreci-ate all referrals! If you have any questions, or would like to express interest, please call or write Kim Veilleux at [email protected] or 786-2598.

An owner at a localclub was so sure thathis bouncer was thestrongest man aroundthat he offered a stand-ing $1,000 bet that nocould beat him.
The challenge was thatthe bouncer wouldsqueeze a lemon untilall the juice ran out intoa glass. He would thenhand the lemon to thecustomer, and the firstone who couldsqueeze even onemore drop out of thelemon would win themoney.
Over the years manypeople had tried this,truck drivers, weightlifters, karate masters,and all had failed.
Then one day thisgeeky little fella withheavy black rimmedglasses came into thebar and asked if hecould try the challenge.
After the laughter hadsubsided the clubowner said that it wasonly fair that the manbe given a chance atthe bet, so the bouncerpicked up a lemon andstarted squeezing.
Once he was done, hehanded the remains tothe little man whopromptly squeezed out4 more drops of juiceinto the glass.

The first full moon tooccur on the winter sol-stice, Dec. 22, com-monly called the firstday of winter, hap-pened in 1999. Since afull moon on the wintersolstice occurred inconjunction with alunar perigee (point inthe moon's orbit that isclosest to Earth), themoon appeared about14% larger than it doesat apogee (the point init's elliptical orbit that isfarthest from theEarth).
Since the Earth is alsoseveral million milescloser to the sun at thattime of the year than inthe summer, sunlightstriking the moon wasabout 7% strongermaking it brighter. Also,this was the closestperigee of the Moon ofthe year since themoon's orbit is con-stantly deforming. Inplaces where theweather was clear andthere was a snowcover, even car headlights were superfluous.

Why are your child's babyteeth important if they arejust going to fall out anyway?It may seem obvious thatyour child's teeth allow themto eat and smile, but did youknow that baby teeth are alsoessential for language andpermanent tooth develop-ment? Teeth help our lips andtongue make sounds properlyand this learning occurs whileyour child still has baby teeth.Amazingly, baby teeth alsohelp guide permanent teethinto position, keeping themfrom growing in crooked.
This is why Center StreetDental is excited to be cele-brating National Children'sDental Health Month in Feb-ruary.
