High school to host competition

AUBURN — Edward Little High School will host a winter guard competition at 1 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 25, at the ELHS gym. The show will include nine winter guard and two percussion groups from around central and southern Maine and the University of New Hampshire.

The Edward Little HS group consists of eight students performing a variety of dance moves, incorporating flags and equipment similar to the fall color guard as seen with marching bands at football games. The ELHS routine is based on the Eurythmics song, “Sweet Dreams.”

Admission is $7 for adults, $5 for students and senior citizens and $20 max for a family of four.

Volunteers needed to help seniors

LEWISTON — SEARCH (Seek Elderly Alone, Renew Courage & Hope), a program of Catholic Charities Maine, is looking for families, singles, retirees, college and high school students to volunteer a few hours a week to seniors who need a helping hand.

The SEARCH program is seeking volunteers to help provide companionship and assistance with grocery shopping/errands for senior clients who live in Androscoggin County.

The program currently has seniors who are waiting for help in the Auburn, Lewiston, Lisbon, Sabattus and Turner areas.

If interested in becoming a volunteer or if there is a senior person who is isolated and may need this kind of support, contact SEARCH Program Director Wendy Russell at 207-784-0157 or wrussell@ccmaine.org.
