In ‘A Toast to Spring’, the Lyme Old Lyme Junior Women’s Club (LOLJWC) are popping the cork and putting a twist on their annual fundraising art show. Club members invite the public to join them for this great event on Saturday, April 30, from 6:30 to 10 p.m. at the Lyme Art Association in Old Lyme.
The event will feature beer and wine tasting; complimentary hors d’oeuvres; a silent auction; live entertainment by ‘Java Groove’; a photo booth, and, of course, the perennially popular art show.
For more than 50 years, the Club has generously supported local charities and causes throughout the shoreline community. This year, the LOLJWC has selected the ‘Love Your Playground’ project at Town Woods and Cross Lane Parks as their main beneficiary. In addition to the playgrounds, the club will continue to support other local beneficiaries and provide scholarships to graduating Lyme-Old Lyme High School students.
Ticket prices are $50 per person and can be purchased from any LOLJWC member or online at LOLJWC.com. Attendees must be 21 years or older.

Thank you Lymeline!
The Cross Lane playground is being completely rebuilt and the Town Woods playground is receiving some new replacement equipment. We are very excited to take on this $200,000+ project which will bring play and exercise to the young, the elderly and the disabled. Our playground is being designed to accommodate those with special needs, such as sensory issues and mobility limitations, so that our playground can be explored and enjoyed by all. All one will need is imagination and creativity.
Remember the fun you had on the swings, the merry-go-round, the running around at the park? By bringing a playground back to our community, we hope to return families to the fresh air, the joy of exercising through play, the laughter and the picnics. And playgrounds are not just for children and their parents. We can’t forget about the grandparents, the guardians, older siblings and the babysitters. Everybody loves a day at the park!
