Holiday Open House
Happy Holidays at the Gilford B. Butler Center! We will kick off the season with an open house this Saturday, November 30, 2-4pm. Santa will be available for visits in the Learning Room and will light our holiday tree at 4:15. Kid’s crafts will be happening in the Makers Space and good cheer will be served in the Community Room. Please join us as we welcome all to our winter season at the Library!
Save the Date
We will be having the second annual “Not A Health Fair” on December 7 from 10-2 at the Butler Center. Some things are still being arranged but for sure we will have Covid and Flu shots from the Knox Clinic, discounted well water and radon testing courtesy of A&L labs, and arrangement for a free smoke detector to be installed by the intrepid South Thomaston Fire Department. There will also be ridiculously good baked goods. More information to follow so save the date.

Demo Debris Dump Stickers
The Town is in the process of re-evaluating the Demo Dump stickers and fee structure. The current stickers are set to expire on December 31st, but we are extending the expiration date until further notice. Please hang onto your current sticker until the new stickers become available.
Wreaths Across America
On December 14, 2024 at 12:00 pm (Wreath Placement Immediately Following Ceremony), Wreaths Across America will be at South Thomaston Village Cemetery to Remember and Honor our veterans through the laying of Remembrance wreaths on the graves of our country’s fallen heroes.
Please help our location lay wreaths at as many graves as possible by going to wreathsacrossamerica and clicking the “Sponsor” button. If you go to the South Thomaston Lions Sponsor page (ME0122) we will get an extra wreath for every two paid for (at $17/wreath). You can also give a check (made out to South Thomaston Lions’ Club) to any of our Lions’ Club members. The cut-off date for this years’ wreath donations is December 3rd. We currently have 108 wreaths donated and our goal is 135.
If you would like to join us/help us lay the wreaths, please be at the Village Cemetery by 11:30 on December 14th.
Thank you so much for supporting South Thomaston Village Cemetery, Wreaths Across America and your local Lions’ Club!
