After a 10 year hiatus, the always hilarious men's calendar is BACK! As part of our 100th anniversary this is one of the many one-time reprisals of past chamber events or projects. Three previous calendars had been produced in the past, each one raising funds for local non-profits.   Identities of the models have been kept confidential and will be revealed for the first time at this event! Come witness the Men of the Ocean Community make their grand stage entrance while their giant calendar photos are simultaneously revealed on the big screen.  Seventeen brave men have posed in various stages of undress using clever props or body positioning to represent their business in this calendar.  The end product is something that will make you laugh out loud and is meant to be seen by adults only. We’ll be raising some eyebrows while we raise funds for the WARM Center, Granite Theatre and Ocean Community Chamber of Commerce.  An autograph session will follow the show providing a chance for all to meet the models. This is a 21+ event.   Calendars will be sold exclusively at The Chamber of Commerce to insure they end up in the hands of age appropriate customers.   This is a limited edition publication with just 500 calendars available at $25 each.   There are only 100 tickets to the show remaining as 40 having been reserved for the photographers and model’s guests. You do not want to miss this entertaining evening!

Join us for an engaging class for students ages 7 to 12. We will be reading "A Place to Hang the Moon" by Kate Albus.   From the jacket: "It is 1940 and William, 12, Edmund, 11, and Anna, 9, aren't terribly upset by the death of the not-so-grandmotherly grandmother who has taken care of them since their parents died.   But the children do need a guardian, and in the dark days of World War II London, those are in short supply, especially if they hope to stay together. Could the mass wartime evacuation of children from London to the countryside be the answer?   It's a preposterous plan, but off they go-- keeping their predicament a secret, and hoping to be placed in a temporary home that ends up lasting forever. Moving from one billet to another, the children suffer the cruel trickery of foster brothers, the cold realities of outdoor toilets and the hollowness of empty stomachs.   But at least they find comfort in the village lending library-- a cozy shelter from the harshness of everyday life, filled with favorite stories and the quiet company of Nora Müller, the kind librarian. The children wonder if Nora could be the family they've been searching for. . . . But the shadow of the war, and the unknown whereabouts of Nora's German husband complicate matters."   In addition to reading the story, class sessions will include relevant math and science lessons, and will also integrate personal finance activities. Register today!

This book club will be held over Teams.
