Enfield Community Currents Brought to you by the Enfield Community Council July -September 2018 Free The art of being wise is knowing what to overlook. -William James Holy Heat Wave. As I type this it has finally dropped to 78 degrees. I hope we are all checking with our neighbors (especially those with mobility difficulties). The heat can be VERY deadly. Check on each other and make sure everyone is safe. Do NOT leave your kids or pets in the car. This can be death for them and jail time for you. Stay cool and when possible do outdoor work during the early morning hours or after it cools down in the evening. Have patiences and take it easy. Your (and My) kids are hot and disinclined to listen. Deep breathes are essential to me (and counting slowly to ten or more). was very sorry to hear about the food bank's problems. If you can help them out, please contact Joanna or Jean. There info is an article further in. While summer is hitting full force very soon, keep in mind the 45th annual Harvest Festival on September 22nd at the Enfield Elementary Building! Live music from Under Construction and lots of fun! If you would like to be a vendor or volunteer, please call me or Ann Rider. Our info is to the left. The ECC storage shed needs help! Can you donate materials, labor, or expertise? We have a leaking roof with missing shingles. It looks like it may need the one side completely redone (including plywood), but I am NOT an expert at all. Please call Ann if you can help in any way. Also, this appears to be the last mailing of the Town of Enfield section of the newsletter. Please be sure to read the info in this issue so you can keep in touch. This section will remain quarterly. As always, we are always looking for ideas and volunteers. Volunteer as much or as little as you can! We already had to cancel the Country Faire this May due to not enough hands. I would like to bring this back and possible add more community events. Please consider lending a helping hand!

Peters and his wife, Martha, that there was a need in behalf of the women of local Enfield families to have some diversion from the duties and plain hard work that made up their lives. To that end, a Club and annual Mother's Camp was set up. Charter members were: Vera Drew, Lena Teeter, Edna Graham, Lida Griffen, Susie Hansen, Martha Peterson, Ada Rumsey, Carrie Schaber, Nellie Wilson, and Harriett Wixom. It began with a core of eleven women who went to Lisle, New York to the hostel called the Happy Valley Homes, for a week's va- cation -in August of 1933. In 1935 flooding was bad in Lisle so there was "no camp this year", as related by Doris Snow from the records ofher mother (Susie Hansen). After—the "Lisle Years", Mothers' Camp was held some years on Cayuga Lake and sometimes on Kayutah Lake (Also known as Cayuta or Little Lake) near Odessa, N -Y. A private cottage was rented by the group and supplies for the week were purchased or solicited from the -members. The ladies in teams, prepared meals, cleaned up, and provided entertainment in the form of readings, poetry, skits, song fests, etc. They walked and swam for other recreation. On the final day of camp, family members, coming to retrieve their "renewed" mother, were often invited to -share -the picnic or last meal before departure for home. Club meetings were bimonthly at members' homes and consisted of a meal with a business meeting followed by some form of casu- al entertainment. Occasionally a day trip was planned, such as an outing to Corning Glass Factory, Coming, N.Y. in 1952 with lunch at the Grace Methodist Church served by the ladies of that church. Forty -four -years later the Mother's club met with the following members as of May 1977: Alice Baker; Carol Baker, Jesse Baker, Mildred Bates, Irene Brown, Nellie Decker, Edna Graham, Viola Harvey, Grace Hill, Fayette Hines, Lina Jones, Joyce Lane, .Lennie Leonard, Mary Pelham, Martha Peterson, Warena Rumsey, Elizabeth Rumsey, Irene Scott, Doris Snow, Marian=Thorton, Elizabeth VanDezee, Jean VanDezee The club flourished through the years until the 1980's when the last of the original members were gone and the requirement of every day life .changed radically from those -of fity,some years earlier. Members and`non-members who have come and gone to camp and meetings over the years: Mary Ammark, Alice Baker, Carol Baker, Jessie Baker, Mildred Bates, Marce Bennett, Irene Brown, Pearl Caley, Jerry Cockerill, Nellie Decker, Cora Dempsey, Vera Drew, Lena Fisher, Wilma Fisher, Edna Graham, Ana Green, Hollen Green, Lida Griffen, . Susie Hansen, Viola Harvey, Grace Hill, Fayette Hines, Carrie Hoffmire, Joyce Lable, Lina Jones, Neva Lane; Winifred Laughlin, Cora Leonard, Jennie Leonard, Caroline Lewis, Blanche Marshall, Esther McFall, Dora Monroe, Sara Nousse, Bernice Payne, Mary - Pelham, Martha Peterson, Wamea Ramsey, Marie Ross, Ada Rumsey, Cora Rumsey, Elizabeth Rumsey, Elmina Rumsey, Carrie Schaber, Irene Scott, Doris Snow, Eva Snyder, Joyce Soule, Mazzei Spencer, Helen Stanton, Ethel Taber, Isabelle Teeter, Jessie Teeter, Lena Teeter, Marian Thomton, Blanche Tucker, Elizabeth Tuckerman, Hilda Tuner, Hazel Updike, EIizabeth VanDerzee, Jean VanDerzee, Marie Wagemaker, Helen Wilkins, Emma Willett, Gladys Willis, Harriett Wixom, Nellie Wilson. 3 If you are interested in more information on the Mother's Club, I have scanned pictures, minutes and other various records and - placed them on our Town of Enfield Public archival site under Mother's Club: http-.//townofenfield.org/documents-public- laserfische/ De Enfield Community Council.
