Interested in Volunteering to Videotape Events, Classes, or Activities at the Center? We have an exciting opportunity before us to help inform the community about goings-on at the Senior Center, but we need a volunteer – or several – interested in learning how to use the HCAT remote camera. Once a volunteer is trained (a very simple process that can be arranged at a mutually convenient time), the camera can be checked out from the HCAT studios and used to record events, classes, or activities at the Center, for interviewing staff or volunteers, and for general information about the Center. Once taped, the segment can be used by HCAT for broadcast purposes. Anybody with an interest in learning about use of a video camera, photography interest or experience, or wanting to learn a new skill would be ideal for this opportunity. The time commitment is whatever you want to make of it. To learn more or express your interest, please see Jean.

Visit www.natick4th.org Get Fired Up for Grilling Safety State Fire Marshal Offers Outdoor Grilling Safety Tips “This summer barbecue season,” said State Fire Marshal Peter J. Ostroskey, “Take a few minutes for safety and inspect grills for leaks and cracks, and teach children to stay three feet away from any grill in use.” Check for Leaks “Check to make sure all the connections are tight and secure before firing up the gas grill for the first time this season,” said Fire Marshal Ostroskey. “Using a brush, apply a soapy solution made of one part dish liquid and one part water to the tank connection. If the solution bubbles, you have a leak that needs repair,” said Ostroskey. He recommended checking for and replacing any cracked hoses. Safety First • Read and follow the owner’s manual. • Always grill outdoors. • Place grills away from the house and deck railings (about ten feet). Make sure they are not under eaves, overhanging branches or against the side of the building. • A gas or charcoal grill should not be used on any porch or balcony. Electric grills that have no open flame may be used. • Gas grills can be used on first floor open decks or patios if there is an exterior stairway to the ground, or it is at ground level. • Grills should never be used indoors or on fire escapes. • Keep children and pets three feet away from the grill area. Create a circle of safety. • Never leave a grill burning unattended. • Keep the grill clean by removing grease or fat build-up from the grills and trays below the grill. • If you smell gas while cooking, immediately get away from the grill and call the fire department. Do not move the grill. • If the flame goes out, turn the grill and gas off and wait 15 minutes before relighting. • Never use gasoline on any grill! • NATIONWIDE Service • We can match ANY dress color • Suit rentals and sales available • Largest in stock selection in Central MA Dressing Men for… Special Occasions since 1923! $ 40 www.bonardis.com 800.752.4036 Worcester | Framingham | Milford | Sturbridge | Auburn Place Grills Away from Buildings Ostroskey said, “Place grills well away from the exterior of the house to keep any grill fire from also igniting a building. Last year, many of the grill fires started when the grill was placed right up against an exterior wall.” Marshal Ostroskey also said, “Practice safety around charcoal grills.” Once the coals have been lit, never add lighter fluid to the fire – flames may travel up the stream of lighter fluid resulting in serious burns. Charcoal briquettes give off carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless gas that can be deadly. “Make sure to always use charcoal grills outside in a well-ventilated area,” he added, “Let the coals cool completely before disposing in a metal container.” Plus Free rental for the groom * *No registration fees .
