THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – Friday, October 18, 2019 Page 19 SOUNDS | from page 18 please call (781-231-4104) or come to the Town Clerk’s Office. Calling civic-minded Saugus students Hey, Saugus High School students, want to do something fun, educational and worthwhile on Tuesday, Nov. 5, when Saugus holds its town elections? Town Clerk Ellen Schena has an offer you might consider. There’s no school on Election Day anyway. “All students – 16, 17 and 18 – are welcome to work as election workers at the minimum pay rate or for community service,” Ellen told me this week. “I usually get five or six for every election. But I’d like to get more. It’s something good to have on your resume – that you worked on the election,” she said. For more details, stop by the Town Clerk’s Office on the first floor of Town Hall and tell the town clerk or one of her assistants that you want to be part of the next town election. Breakfast at Legion Hall Cpl. Scott J. Procopio Saugus American Legion Post 210 has begun its seventh year of Friday morning breakfasts. The doors open at 7:30 a.m. at 44 Taylor St. in Saugus. Breakfast will be served from 8 to 9 a.m. The breakfasts will run through the end of May, with the exception of school vacations or Fridays when there is no school. A $6 donation is requested, with all proceeds going to help the Legion operate. Everyone is welcome, according to John Cannon, the cook on duty. Too many books at library! “We’re sorry: we are unable to accept book donations at this town.” That was the flyer posted in the entranceway of the Saugus Public Library this week. While the flyer hailed the New Friends’ Annual Book Sale “a great success,” it also noted “a considerable excess of books at this time and no more space to store them.” “Therefore, we are no longer accepting book donations for the foreseeable future,” it continued. The flyer also suggested that folks who have excess books they would like to donate might consider making a donation of “clean and gently-used books to these Saugus locations: “Council on Aging, 466 Central St., call 781-231-4178 “Salvation Army, 209 Broadway, call 781-231-0803 “Savers, 1160 Broadway, call 781-231-1232” CHaRM Recycling Drop-Off site open The Town of Saugus announces that the community’s Center for Hard to Recycle Materials (CHaRM) is open to residents on Wednesdays and Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. The site is located behind the Department of Public Works at 515 Main St. There is no preregistration or fee required to enter the site; however, proof of residency is required.
