Vic & Sticks Recycled Rhythm Band
"Musical Comedy for the Whole Family"
WHEN: Friday August 6
TIME: 10:30
AGES: Preschool to Grade 5

Vic and Sticks is husband and wife team Vicki and Rick Ethier. With Vicki on her trusty ukulele and Rick on antique washboard and suitcase percussion, their unique Vic and Sticks songs are performed with a vintage/vaudeville recycled rhythm beat! By singing the three "R's" ... reduce, reuse and recycle", children learn how recycling helps the world around us and that the best place to practice reuse is at their neighborhood library!! This fast paced music/family show, encourages audience participation as the children in the audience become part of the Vic and Sticks "Recycled Rhythm" Band!

“Just wanted to say we had Vic & Stick's the other night and they were great!" We really enjoyed them and will have them back." – Susan Conroy, Children's Librarian, Thayer Memorial Library, Lancaster, MA.

Program is free but canned-good donations will be gratefully accepted for the Wrentham Food Pantry.

"This program is supported with a grant from the Sweatt Fund.

Tickets are free and are now available at the circulation desk.

Once again this summer the children are invited to help Miss Liz choose
an animal, honeybees or trees to donate through Heifer International.
Founded in 1944, Heifer International is a humanitarian assistance
organization that works to end world hunger and protect the earth.
Through livestock, training and “passing on the gift,” Heifer has helped
seven million families in more than 125 countries improve their quality
of life and move toward greater self-reliance. Heifer helps build strong
communities because each project participant agrees to pass on the gift
of animal offspring, training, or skills to another family in need.

All children finishing the summer reading club program will get to vote
for which animal(s), bees or trees  they would like to donate to help a
family in need. See the display  in the children’s room for more
information and visit www.heifer.org to learn more about this worthy
organization.
