A lot of friends stop by the tent to visit and that’s real- ly nice,” she said. “We try so hard every year to get new people to volunteer. It’s a great cause.” Volunteers for the tent are needed on July 5 and 6 to help move the accumulated treas- ures from the basement of the library out to the tent. “Even if people could give an hour or two of their time, it would help. They don’t have to carry the heavy stuff, just unloading the boxes under the tent is a big help.” The funds raised through the auction help with yearly li- brary expenses. This year’s auction is especially important because the library lost nearly $47,000 in state funding. “What is a community with- out a library,” asked Kutz. “This auction really brings the community together. So many people who have left the area like to plan their visit home to coincide with the auction. It is a really wonderful thing we have here and I hope it will continue for many, many years.” Volunteers are stil needed for set up and clean up. “Peo- ple like to be asked,” said Bar-. bara Lemmond. So, consider yourself asked and call the li- brary at 675-1182 to volunteer. If you can’t get to a phone, just show up at the library, and there is sure to be some way you can help out.

Art show to make debut By KELLY CLISHAM For The Post The folks at the Back Moun- tain Memorial Library have el- evated fund-raising to an art form — literally. While the li- brary’s auction has been a sign of summer in the community for more than 50. years, this year’s event is featuring a new attraction in the form of an art show coordinated by local artist Martha Sampson. Sampson, a painter and teacher, was born and raised in Clarks Summit. She spent 26 years in Dallas before moving to Florida, then returning to Northeastern Pennsylvania to tend to family obligations. She now lives about halfway be- tween Dallas and Tunkhan- nock, and though she’s official- ly retired, she says, laughingly, “I'm not. I'm not very retired.” A former public school teacher, Sampson now divides her time between organizing exhibits for the Endless Moun- tain Council of the Arts where she also gives lessons, teach- ing private art classes in her home, and pursuing her own artistic endeavors. Though Sampson’s plate, or in this case palette, is quite full, when she was approached about the idea of an art show at this year’s auction, she agreed to take charge. The show will feature the work of 15 local artists, both profes- sional and amateur, as well as one of Sampson’s own pieces. All of the artwork will be for Monday & Friday* 2 for $22.00 (9 Holes w/Cart) 2 for $26.00 (18 Holes w/Cart) WEEKDAYS 1 for $24.00 (18 Holes w/Cart) 1 for $18.00 ( 9 Holes w/Cart 1 for $15.00 (18 Holes Walking) 1 for $12.00 ( 9 Holes Walking) 2 for $40.00 (9 Holes w/Cart) 2 for $50.00 (18 Holes w/Cart) sale, with the library and the artist each receiving a portion of the proceeds. Sampson is also coordinat- ing an art show for the EMCA Gallery that will take place at the end of August. This busy artist and teacher also shares a passion with many of the auction’s' guests — a passion for reading. “I read all the time. I find books everywhere.” Of course Samp- son delves into art books to keep herself inspired and keep her teaching skills current, but she also enjoys historical nov- els. She counts Rosamunde Pilcher and Maeve Binchy among her favorite authors. Sampson also holds a spe- cial place in her heart for “Walking on Water: Reflec- tions on Faith and Art” by Madeline L'Engle. She says the book is a must for “writers, artists and other creative peo- ple,” and has given it as a gift many times. Right now, Sampson is put- ting her gifts of organizational and artistic talent into making sure the Back Mountain Memorial Library Auction’s premier art show runs smooth- ly. While it’s still too early to say whether the art show will become a part of the long- standing auction’s tradition, Sampson does have high hopes for this year’s event. “I'd love to see the show bring in lots of revenue for the library and the artists. I'd like a lot of people to see a lot of fine arts.” GOLF COURSE WEEKDAY SPECIALS* Tuesday - Wednesday - Thursday* DAILY RATES 1 for $20.00 (18 Holes Walking) WEEKEND SPECIALS * 2 for $30.00 (9 Holes w/Cart) 2 for $40.00 (18 Holes w/Cart) WEEKEND 1 for $30.00 (18 Holes w/Carf) 1 for $24.00 ( 9 Holes w/Cart 1 for §16.00 ( 9 Holes Walking) 4 for $72.00 (9 Holes w/Cart) 2 for $90.00 (18 Holes w/Cart) Not valid with any other offers. *Monday & Friday Specials available all day *Tue-Wed.-Thurs.
