due to close in less than two weeks.The Lennoxville & District Women\u2019s Centre said that an expansion of a neighbouring business is forcing them to vacate their Queen Street premises.Gordon Lambie Lennoxville Massawippi music festival takes off Record Staff This past Saturday, the Massawippi Music Festival began its first ever concert series, featuring the early music ensemble, Les Voix Humaines.Taking place at St.Elizabeth Church in North Hatley.The festival is modelled after the now-defunct Lake Massawippi Festival, which operated for over 25 years in the area.The newly developed festival features some of the biggest names in the music world.The next concert in the series will take place on Saturday, featuring young and talented Sherbrooke pianist Tristan Longval-Gagné.Les Voix Humaines, the first concert of the Festival, performed works by composer Tobias Hume (1580-1645) and included a wide array of instruments such as lutes, violas da gamba, recorders and percussion.The next concert in the series, this Saturday, will feature Longval-Gagné in a program of works by Chopin, Liszt, Wagner and Scriabin.Longval-Gagné began studying piano at age 6 and gave his first performance two years later.In 2010 he won the prestigious Prix d\u2019Europe and moved to New York to study with Julian Martin at the Julliard School of Music.On June 20, Toronto Symphony Orchestra concertmaster Jonathan Crow and pianist Philip Chiu will present a Parisian program of works by Ravel, Prokofiev, Vivier and Franck.Rounding out the festival on June 27 will be Montreal Symphony Orchestra principal flautist Timothy Hutchins with pianist Janet Creaser-Hutchins sharing works that celebrate the spirit of summertime.Each concert, scheduled to begin at 8 p.m., will be preceded by a short lecture at 7:30 p.m.Tickets for each event cost $30 and are available at the door.Reservations are recommended and can be made by calling 819-842-1072 or writing estria@cgocable.ca.The Boutique Encore in Lennoxville is shutting its doors at the end of next week.The second-hand store and social enterprise will be homeless as of June 20 as the space it occupies at 178 Queen Street is vacated to allow for the expansion of the neighbouring health food store.The boutique\u2019s operators, the Lennoxville and District Women\u2019s Centre say that all hope is not lost for its future, but that they are stopping operations for the time being while a new location is sought.The Boutique Encore has been serving the local community since it first opened in November 2009.Terry Moore, executive director of the LDWC, explained that the centre has known about the need to move since late April, but nonetheless called the development surprising and challenging for the community of volunteers that has grown up around the shop.According to Moore the neighbouring store and the building were sold to new owners earlier this year with the expansion of Racine Santé being a condition in the deal.Displaced but not discouraged, the LDWC director said that the Women\u2019s Centre has already taken a close look at the commercial spaces for rent in Lennoxville but has yet to find the perfect spot to re-open.\u201cThe bottom line is cost,\u201d Moore said.\u201cLennoxville can be pricey.\u201d Despite the cost factor, Moore said that Boutique Encore is committed to remaining in Lennoxville as the community has \u201cthe right mix,\u201d of people with the values of the enterprise at heart.Boutique Encore has served for five-and-a-half years as a means of providing professional and fashionable used clothing at a price significantly lower than new.At the same time, it has been able to promote the environmental value of recycling and re-using items of clothing.Its mandate as a social enterprise was to use the funds from sales to help provide further resources for programming offered to women and children in the community through the LDWC.Cont\u2019d on Page 3 -\t¦ the ¦\t- RECORD The Record online is new and improved It is more up to date and compatible with the new modern devices thWin* To subscribe, go to

your last year of high school, a technical program, college, university, or another form of education.You and I went to school together once upon a time.The time we spent together was part of both of our educations.We reached certain milestones together \u2014 markers along the road of life that tell our story of who we are becoming.Somewhere along the line, our milestones changed, and you moved forward in a different way.You went ahead because that was the direction that school took \u2014 it was designed a little bit more for a group of people that you were a part of.I couldn\u2019t keep up.I wasn\u2019t part of that group.Some of the basic milestones to be in that group are ones I will never be able to reach.My brain doesn\u2019t work in the way that yours does.As I hope you have learned somewhere along the way, that doesn\u2019t make one of us better than the other.I am not deserving of more help than you to learn the things I need to.You are not deserving of a better chance in life just because your brain (or body) works in a way that is similar to most people.What if our class had been the other way around?What if most people in our class had learned in very special, unique ways to them?What if it wasn\u2019t possible to make school something that was easily shared in limited ways?Maybe I would have continued on in school with you.I didn\u2019t though.I go to a different school now, and have for a while now.I don\u2019t even know for sure if you remember me, or if you do, what you remember about me.Maybe you remember that I was different.Maybe you remember that I was often with other people, who helped me.Sometimes I remember you, and I remember what it was like to be in school together.Sometimes I miss that.The school I switched to is very specialized.It was designed to suit the needs of a big group of people who all have needs that are different.Sometimes I really love being there.Sometimes I find it hard, because I miss spending time with you and the rest of my old classmates.I am progressing through my life though.There are things I can do that you can\u2019t do.There are ways that I learn that are beyond how your brain works.It\u2019s okay \u2014 you still have great potential, even if we\u2019re different.I have grown since the last time we saw each other.I\u2019m taller; there are things that have changed a lot about my body, just like yours.In that way, some of those milestones are exactly the same.My voice and my face are changing; I\u2019m growing up, like you.Some of my interests are exactly the same as they were when we were little.I know that secretly, there are still some things you love that you loved when we were little.Certain toys, certain movies, certain ways of being, certain ways of playing are still fun to you, but you don\u2019t really want other people to know.Don\u2019t worry; it\u2019s OK, that\u2019s totally normal.Society sometimes makes us feel like we have to grow up beyond that place and those interests, but it\u2019s not really true.You just have to find a balance that feels good and healthy.When you\u2019re a grown up, there will still be things that you will love that you loved when you were little, only you\u2019ll feel a little safer saying so.You won\u2019t worry that anyone will make fun of you.Sometimes I get made fun of, too.It\u2019s not fun, but I hope that you have people in your life who will help you if that happens.People who make fun of other peo- ple have pain inside that they ignore.It\u2019s not your fault.For my family, maybe this time right now, when you are moving on to another phase of your life will be a little painful.They love me for who I am, but they sure wish that I could have every advantage that my peers have.They will always think of me as one of you.They hope that I get to experience as many of the great things about life as you do, at least as many as possible.They know that you are getting ready for graduation, and we are not.When one of these milestones comes along, they are reminded of when they first learned that my life was going to be different.They are also reminded that my future is going to be different.There will be times in your life when you will be different from everyone else too.Sometimes you\u2019ll be different because your needs will change, sometimes things about you will change, and sometimes things will happen to you that will change how you fit in.I hope that you are always surrounded by caring people when those things happen.Even when we\u2019re different, we don\u2019t have to be alone.We\u2019re still part of the whole picture too, no matter what anyone thinks or says.I don\u2019t really mind that I\u2019m not graduating with you.I hope though, that as you go through life, you help to make the world a different for people like me, whose needs are so great that I can\u2019t stay with the people I have grown up with.I hope that one day there will be lots of ways that we can grow and be friends together.It will be as good for you as it is for me.You can learn a lot from me, and it\u2019s too bad that we haven\u2019t had the last years for me to teach you a little more about what I know about life.I\u2019m sorry about that.It wasn\u2019t my choice to leave.A lot of things are decided for me.I wish you the best in your future.Go forward with truth and love in your heart.Those are the most important things to always remember, no matter who you are, or what you do in life.Be wary of anyone who tells you different.Congratulations, please don\u2019t forget me.I\u2019m important to your world and your future too, and I\u2019m still part of your Class of 2015, even if I\u2019m not in it in the same way.Be safe, be true to yourself, and be kind to others,

Now I get it!\u201d was named category champion for the Puzzles and Experiments category of the competition, meaning that the idea was hand picked by category judge Helen Papagiannis as worthy of recognition.The team at the Collegium signed up for the competition months ago after hearing about it on the radio.Just over a week ago, they learned that their project, which focuses on having the students create a series of science-based educational movies, had gained enough votes to progress to the finals.\u201cWe feel very vindicated,\u201d Gill-Coleman said, referring to having been chosen by the judge directly.Rather than scrambling for the popular vote against projects with far bigger networks of support to draw upon, she explained that being picked based on the merit of the students\u2019 work by an expert in the field is a deeply satisfying result.\u201cI would love to have the chance to communicate with her and just thank her.\u201d With a top prize of $50,000 on the table and a thinlc-big attitude in minds, the Collegium team budgeted for a version of their project that would cost them roughly $32,000.With $10,000 secured, however, Gill-Coleman was nonetheless excited.\u201cIt\u2019s not the $32,000 we bud- geted for, but it\u2019s $10,000 more than we had before,\u201d the teacher said.\u201cI had (the CST rep) repeat it over and over; I still can barely believe it.\u201d The teacher explained that she and her coworkers would spend their summer preparing a scaled-back version of the initial project and try to find ways to accomplish their original goals on a more limited budget.At the same time, she said that the networking involved in trying to get votes for the initial stages of the contest put her in touch with a few individuals in media industries who suggested that what she is trying to do might still be functional with less expensive equipment.Papagiannis was in transit to a conference on Monday and unable to speak to what guided her decision, but she expressed a hearty congratulations to the team for their success.\u201cWe\u2019re trying to make everything in the classroom more real\u201d Coleman said, expressing that students can sometimes feel like the classroom work is less important next to their work placements.\u201cThe things we are doing here are for a real purpose.\u201d The official results of the competition as a whole are posted at noon today on the CST: Inspired Minds website.glambie@sherbrookerecord.com Als receiver busted for pot in Lennoxville The Canadian Press Lennoxville Montreal Alouettes wide receiver Mardy Gilyard was arrested for marijuana possession on Monday.The Alouettes confirmed the charge in a news release, saying Gilyard was arrested for \u201csimple possession of marijuana\u201d in Lennoxville, near where the team is holding its training camp.\u201cThe Montreal Alouettes do not condone this type of behaviour from any employee,\u201d the team said.\u201cThe club will allow the justice system to render a verdict and will act accord-ingly.\u201d The Alouettes said they will not comment further on the matter.Gilyard suffered a torn Achilles tendon at training camp last week and will miss the upcoming CFL season.Shaken baby victim dies Record Staff f » jhe victim of a shalcen-baby I incident in Richmond has A.died, the SQ has confirmed.The child,

family friendly cycling event, called Çamedi de Pédaler, has been organized for this Saturday on the Sentier de la Vallée, between Richmond and St-Cyr.Starting at 9 a.m., cyclists of all ages and levels are invited to travel down the path at their leisure, stopping off to visit a variety of kiosks and participate in activities along the way.Emmanuelle Déon, development agent for the Val-Saint-François regional county municpality, said the motivation for the event was part of a strategic plan to focus more on biking in the region and help locals and tourists to discover the trails in the area.The total ride roundtrip is 23 lciometres.At km 3, people can stop for a tasting of Fromagerie l\u2019Étoile.A smoothie station will be set up at km 8.Upon arrival at St-Cyr, the halfway

Donations have been taken regularly from the community at the women\u2019s centre.From there they were sorted, displayed, and sold at the shop by a dedicated team of volunteers.The LDWC indicated that, as a result of the loss of a storefront, it will not be in a position to accept clothing donations for the next few months.\u201cWithout a space everything is on hold,\u201d Moore said, indicating that plans are in the works to use the boutique\u2019s Faceboolc page as a sort of online storefront for some of the clothes that are currently stockpiled.According to the executive director, once a new space is found the store should be up and running very quickly.Moore pointed out that the space they are leaving was prepared in a no-frills, low-cost way to try to maintain as much of the store\u2019s energy and funds going into programs as possible and said that wherever they end up moving will likely get the same treatment.In the meantime, the shop is preparing for a big liquidation sale starting this coming weekend to try to clear stock.Store hours are Thursday and Friday from 10 a.m.to 7 p.m.and on Saturdays from 10 a.m.to 4 p.m.Those looking for more information

and in fact we re-elected the other officers too.\u201d He also mused about the possibility of extending the term of office to two or three years, and limiting the total number of years a board member could serve.That would be a way to encourage the search for new board members and new ideas.But, he commented, \u201cit\u2019s always a challenge to find representatives from the different parts of the Townships.\u201d The evening also saw three high school students receive prizes for essays in the 2014 edition of the \u201cExcel in the Estrie\u201d contest.The aim was to invite \u201chigh

newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com Tuesday, June 9, 2015 Page 5 Abbondanza helping gardeners create extravaganzas By Olivia Ranger-Enns Mansonvtt.t.f.As usual, springtime weather allures avid gardeners back to the outside, garden gloves and apron in hand.That is why Gwynne Basen is once again hosting a series of workshops on gardening at her 15-acre farm this year.Running for its fourth season this year, the workshops at Mansonville\u2019s Abbondanza farm are anything but simple or categorical.On the contrary, Basen likes to experiment and toss ideas around based on participants\u2019 interests.She invites a number of lecturers to her small oasis.\u201cIt\u2019s a gradual process, where little by little I add new workshops to provide a more holistic approach to the garden theme,\u201d explained Basen, who bought her farm 15 years ago but has been claiming the Eastern Townships as home for 40 years.A documentary-maker with the National Film Board by trade, Basen decided to embrace the inner farmer in her when she bought the property, which she recalls as \u201cstunning\u201d.Food has always played a dominant role in Basen\u2019s life.\u201cI have always grown food, even when I had kids.Even if it was just seedlings, that was food for the family that I was producing,\u201d she said with a smile.Her drive for food security prompted her to establish a farmer\u2019s market at the red round barn in Mansonville.\u201cWe set up every Saturday and we\u2019ll be going there until Thanksgiving.Farmers bring their vegetables, maple syrup, baked goods, whatever you can think of,\u201d she said.The market opens every Saturday, rain or shine, from 9:00 a.m to 1 p.m.The farmer\u2019s market often showcases Basen\u2019s more original produce.\u201cI love to bring vegetables to the market and have people pointing their fingers at them, asking: what is that?\u201d she said.You could say that her flashy red hair matches her exuberant and entrepreneurial personnality.One thing becomes clear as crystal: Basen knows how to teach people on a variety of themes.On June 20, Basen will be hosting a workshop on how to build solar ovens.And there is more.On Sunday, Basen hosted a workshop titled \u201cthe Healthy Happy Garden,\u201d where she taught participants how to select seeds and plants, how to prepare the soil, and where to plant, among other techniques.\u201cI have no professional training when it comes to gardening, but I\u2019ve picked up quite a lot of tricks from books.and just by gardening all the time,\u201d she said with a faint laugh.A number of other workshops ranging in subject from per-maculture gardening to nature photography to stone wall building are offered throughout the summer.Her avidity for gardening is so strong that time often just flies by.Case in point: it was 2:30 p.m., and she still hadn\u2019t had lunch.\u201cI\u2019m starving,\u201d she said candidly.Basen likes to combines her passion for gardening with her drive for education, ideally through the documentary medium.\u201cI have worked on a TV series titled Recreating Eden, which was basically a garden biography series about people whose lives had been somehow influenced by their gardens.We were lucky to be given five seasons, which allowed me to tour the world: I filmed in Italy, France, Israel, the United States, England and of course Canada,\u201d said the filmmaker.Her documentary titled On the Eighth Day led her to investigate the tenuous and often misrepresented or misunderstood world of biotechnology.\u201cThat was a real education process for me, where I got to learn about biotechnology and teach people about all kinds of things: the introduction of new insect pests, preserving our gene pool, how technology affects our fertility system.That was huge,\u201d said Basen, who used the film medium as a tool of persuasion, if not communication as well.Tomatoes will always be high priorities on her list, to say the least.\u201cI\u2019m known to friends and locals as the Tomato Princess,\u201d said Basen.\u201cI just love tomatoes.And I was blessed to discover that there was a fellow prince, a real one at that, known as the Tomato Prince.He owns a château in France\u2019s Loire valley and believes just like me in preserving certain types of food which might go into extinction.He grows 600 varieties of heirloom tomatoes.I just had to go see him,\u201d she concluded neatly.\u201cWhat may have initially seemed like a whimsical notion in growing old varieties of tomatoes can easily become a primordial belief in preserving our food system as it is.\u201d (Prince Louis Albert de Broglie really does exist.As does his Tomato Festival which brings out all the brightly coloured vegetables in all their glory).Townshippers AGM Cont\u2019d from Page 4 said the Townshippers\u2019 Association press release.First-prize winner Sarah Elizabeth Cote, age 17 and from Lennoxville, received $350.She plans to study visual arts and would like to become a teacher.Breanna Patrick, age 16 and from Cookshire, and Glenn Leitzy Aluha, age 17 and from Sherbrooke, shared the second prize.Patrick plans to study nursing, and Aluha hopes to study math and social sciences.All three winners are currently finishing their final year at Alexander Galt Regional High School, and plan to attend Champlain College.Finally, Townshippers\u2019 invites nominations for the 2015 Young Townships Leader Awards.Eligible are young people who show \u201cachievements, dynamism and involvement\u201d and who may be role models for other youth as well as adults.The nominations deadline is Aug.28, and cash prizes will be awarded at the Townshippers\u2019 Day opening ceremonies on Sept.12 at the Brome Fairgrounds.For information and a nominations form, contact ct@townshippers.org or 819-566-5717, or visit the Youth section at Townshippers.org.Ra.writes@gmail.com 1 J».£ COURTESY GWYNNE BASEN Visitors are encouraged to come to Abbondanza farm this summer to take part in a wide range of workshops pertaining to gardening.Basen is also a fierce food advocate as the Quebec representative of Seeds for Diversity, a national organization that is holds talks about subjects such as seed and food biodiversity, pollination sustainability, organic seed production and seed and plant heritage.\u201cI am kind of a joiner,\u201d said Basen.\u201cIt\u2019s important to celebrate diversity, and to get people to think about it too.\u201d When asked about the current men- tality on food and waste trends, Basen remained optimistic.\u201cI think people are more and more interested in buying local and organic produce,\u201d she said.\u201cFor example, in May I went to a Montreal laundromat cafe to sell my seedlings.I thought I\u2019d need about two days to sell my seedlings.But everything was gone in two and a half hours.People came from all over Mile End,\u201d she said.\u201cThat just shows how much people want to invest in good, healthy food that isn\u2019t shipped from afar.\u201d Basen opens her door wide to members of the World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms, an international organization that provides people with gardening experience the chance to travel the world and work as a volunteer in farms.The hosts, in exchange, provide room and board.\u201cI\u2019ve hosted people from all over the place.A lady from China is currently staying with us,\u201d said Basen with a warm smile.\u201cShe\u2019s cooking us a farewell Chinese feast tonight.Heaven knows where I\u2019ll find the sauces she needs.\u201d For more information on Abbon-danza\u2019s workshops, visit the website www.abbondanzafarm.com or call 450-292-0732.Reaching out

ingenious.Innovative celebration of history Susan Mastine Innovation is hitting the Eastern Townships in a big way.Last year saw the launch of the Coaticoolc Gorge\u2019s light and sound nighttime trail, Foresta Lumina.Last week saw the installation of a Sky Factory ceiling with the image of a bright spring sky in the advanced dementia unit of the Wales Home.The Chai Vin wine truck is touring our roads.And Drummondville has planned a summer of unique festivities to highlight its 200th anniversary.Back in the 1960s and \u201970s, Drummondville was the butt of many a joke.It seemed to have a reputation for nothing at all.Over the past 40 years, that has changed big time \u2014 the city is now a dynamic commercial, industrial, cultural, and sports hub, which hosts an annual folklore festival, the Mondial des Cultures.The city\u2019s beginnings date back to 1815.At the end of the War of 1812-1814, the British Crown encouraged its officers and soldiers to settle on the banks of the St.Francis River, 50 kilometres from the St.Lawrence.Lt.-Col.Frederick George Heriot was named to spearhead the founding of this new colony, named after Sir Gordon Drummond, then-Governor General of Lower Canada.Drummondville is holding numerous activities commemorating its earliest days; many of them are taking place this month.The committee organizing the celebrations has shown a great deal of imagination in its planning.The focus is history, of course, from a broad range of perspectives, but not exclusively.Some of the events have a decidedly creative and modern-day feel.These include everything from a solo art exhibit of Drummondville-based street scenes featuring the city\u2019s built heritage at various times in its history; a breakfast in the Anglican St.George\u2019s Church hosted by the mayor, and followed by the unveiling of a new public space honouring the city\u2019s founder and Drummondville\u2019s pioneer families; a group show of visual arts works reflecting the city and its history; a series of activities on 200 years of military life in Drummondville, including an exhibit, a talk, an outdoor movie, and a military concert; a show starring well-known artists originally from this city; a lantern festival on June 29 during which more than 500 locally made lanterns will be carried in a parade at nightfall (the public is also invited to make their own lanterns from recycled materials in a workshop held beforehand; these creations will be installed in the downtown area for the duration of the commemorative festivities).But something coming to the province for the first time this year will likely entice young and young-at-heart, a 1,000-foot long water slide to be installed by the company Slide the City right in the heart of the city on Lindsay Street! At this family-friendly event, there will be live music, food, drinks, and the biggest slip and slide water surface ever to hit asphalt.Again, the leading figures in this northern part of the Eastern Townships have proven themselves ingenious.Whether you live near or far, Drummondville merits a visit this summer to celebrate its past, present, and future.The city merits recognition for its respect for its heritage and its forward-looking perspective.¦ THE ¦ RECORD 1195 Galt East, Sherbrooke, Quebec JIG 1Y7 Fax: 819-821-3179 e-mail: newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com Website: www.sherbrookerecord.com

wmm Letters Dear Editor: The golden age of books (not unlike that of newspapers) is behind us, but people in South Durham might suggest that there are occasions that call for a book.Two years ago, a committee in Durham-Sud (as the village is now officially called) felt that one way to commemorate the municipality\u2019s 150th anniversary (being celebrated this year) would be to publish a book\u2014as had been done at the time of the 125th.The driving force behind the project was France Noel, though she credits a number of people for their contributions: Ginette Riel and Victoire Proulx who were her close collaborators; François Riel (South Durham\u2019s resident historian) and Louis-Marie Ouellette who proofread the book, Marthe Boisjoly who did the graphics and Jacques Côté who worked on the photos.The book pays homage to the area\u2019s early settlers who were predominantly English-speaking so that the texts dealing with the Eng- lish schools and the English churches are presented in English, the handiwork of Donna Williamson Goupil, Muriel Duffy, Audrey Fee Lester, and Sandra Fee Lester, all of whom committed countless hours to the project.While South Durham (or Durham-Sud) is the main focus of the book, the greater rural area including the villages of Danby and Lisgar are also included.The text is complemented by 300 photos, some of local provenance but also some from Ottawa\u2019s National Archives.The attractive, 200-page, hardcover book, simply entitled Durham-Sud, 150 ans 1865-2015 is both slimmer and richer than the oversized volume published 25 years ago.It was made possible through the support of Durham-Sud and the Société de Développement Économique de Drummondville, and is available from the South Durham town hall, 819-858-2044, at a cost of $40.Nick Fonda Richmond The Record welcomes your letters to the editor.Please limit your letters to 300 words.We reserve the right to edit for length, clarity, legality and taste.Please ensure

at all.Some of them have been truant for half of the years they were here.At least 15 seniors were absent from class for their entire senior year, and at least 20 percent lack grade-level reading and writing skills.For some, college will be impossible.Every year, we have \u201calumni\u201d who return to school because they either graduated without necessary credentials or flunked out of college and need academic help.I never give passing grades to kids who don\u2019t show up to class, but if they perform some token service, the school graduates them anyway.Should I go to this year\u2019s graduation ceremony?I haven\u2019t gone in two years, and when asked, I say why.Sometimes I worry that I appear unkind, because this is a low-income, troubled neighborhood and high school graduation means a lot to these families.I just don\u2019t like what I see as a deception because either the parents haven\u2019t made sure the kids go to school, or the school lies to the kids and tells them everything is fine.What do you suggest?\u2014 Teacher Dear Teacher: There is only so much you can do, and you are already doing it.We understand that you don\u2019t feel it is fair for kids to graduate when they haven\u2019t done the work, shown up for class or achieved the required standards.You are already giving these kids flunking grades.But unless the other teachers and the school ad- Annie\u2019s Mailbox ministration are willing to hold them back, they will graduate anyway.And your school is not the only one that operates in this fashion.While it serves no purpose for parents or kids to believe graduation will happen whether or not it\u2019s deserved, for some, the humiliation of not graduating doesn\u2019t spur them to achieve more.It makes them give up.Ask yourself what you hope to accomplish as an educator, and then seek the best way to achieve it.Dear Annie: I have a friend who, after lots of medical assistance, was finally able to get pregnant and have a little girl 18 months ago.Now, with further assistance, she is pregnant with twins.It\u2019s exciting but expensive to give a baby shower.What is the proper etiquette?I really like her, and she was the matron of honor at my wedding three years ago.We worked together then and now have lunch once every month or so, but we are no longer super-close.\u2014 Second Baby Shower?Dear Second: Are you asking whether you should host twice or attend twice?You are not obligated to do either, but it is especially onerous to host a second baby shower, so you are off the hook for that.Many women opt not to have second baby showers, because they already were provided with plenty of nice things that can be handed down to a second child.With twins, however, the need is greater, so a second shower is understandable.But it should not overburden people who gave gen- erously the first time.Guests should include only close family, very close friends and those who were not invited to the first baby shower.If you choose to attend a second shower, you might consider a token gift rather than a pricey item.Dear Annie: This is for \u201cM.W.,\u201d the retired teacher who doesn\u2019t want to come to Florida every winter.She has a volunteer job she loves back home and says she can\u2019t find anything similar in Florida because everything is too far away and her husband takes the car to play golf.I live in The Villages in Florida.Please inform her that we have 32 golf courses, and the residences come with a golf cart that her husband can use to get around, leaving the car with her.And we also have many volunteer opportunities right here, including hospitals and libraries.Tell her to check it out.\u2014 John Dear John: We received so many letters from folks in The Villages that we suspect an organized writing campaign.Nonetheless, we know that many retirement communities include excellent facilities that would satisfy golfers and volunteers alike.But both parties must be willing to make the effort.Annie\u2019s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.Please email your questions to anniesmailbox@creators.com, or write to:
