Discovery Center Birthday Party!


What a blast we had on Earth Day with Jackson Gilman and our Sandwich Library Friends, celebrating our 11th year of fun in the Discovery Center!

The celebration, including 100 scrumptious cupcakes from MacKillops Bakery, was made possible by Eastern Bank. Branch Manager Kirby Holmes came to help us blow out candles, but stayed to help a new friend that she met there. Kirby found a young mom,expecting her second child, and feeling very faint. Kirby remembered that feeling herself, and ran to get her an ice pack, and when ready, some juice and a cupcake. She refused to leave the mom's side, and even offered to drive her home. Thank you Kirby, for putting a very personal face on business!
