"HOME Foundation Endowment Capital Campaign Kicks Off" The "No Place Like Home" capital campaign seeks to raise at least $250,000 by 2031 for the Kensington HOME Foundation permanent endowment. This will fund at least $10,000 of annual community grants. The Foundation has received a gift of $10,000 from John and Kim Levin to launch fundraising efforts. They have also made a matching challenge of $15,000 in honor of Evelyn and memory of Arnold "Tarzan" Levin. The board needs your help to ensure we get the entirety of the matching funds. Please contact Adam Synoground for more information or to make a donation. Kensington Library We are now on summer break hours. We will be open 2-7pm on Mondays and 9am-2pm Tuesday through Saturday. Also, our Summer Reading Programs will begin the second week of June. Come enjoy “Tails and Tales” with us! Pre-K to 1st grades will meet on Tuesdays, and 2nd-5th grades on Thursdays @ 10:00am, starting June 8th/10th. Please note we are bumping up the time to 10:00am to try and avoid scheduling conflicts with swimming lessons. Plan for 6 weeks of stories, crafts, and learning activities. The final days will be July 13 & 15. Like us on Facebook! Kensington Community/School Library or visit www.kensingtonks.net/library. Weekly Inspirations 10 Tips To Make You Spend Your Time And Money More Wisely 1. Learn to clean as you go. You will save many hours. 2. Grocery shop after a meal. When you’re hungry, everything looks delicious and you end up spending too much. 3. If you don’t need something, don’t buy it. 4. Time is becoming ever elusive in today’s society. Learn to multitask. Pay bills on the train ride to work, listen to lectures while doing housework, see all your friends at the same time and catch up with them all at once. 5. When you’re in a good mood, don’t make promises! When that good mood goes away, that promise will be hard to follow through with. 6. If it takes less than two minutes, do it now. 7. Always sleep well. More time spent out of focus and unproductively is never as good as shorter, efficient time. 8. Being healthier doesn’t necessarily mean you need to spend more time and money. Take the stairs, eat fruit instead of candy, add honey instead of sugar. 9. Smile at strangers. It will brighten up their day and yours too. 10. Don’t let a second go by wasted. Find a passion, a person, or a goal to live for. News items needed Send your news to Erica at ebarnes8185@gmail.com (put NEWS in the subject line please) or call 785-476-8185.
