LISBON — Sue Hardison, a member of the grade three team of teachers at Lisbon Community School, was on a mission this summer. Hardison wanted to provide a comfortable reading nook for students in her classroom.

She used the standard method of requesting assistance from the Lisbon volunteer force through an all call global message for contributions of six bean bag chairs in good condition.

Ron Hood, program director for Big Brother Big Sister in Lewiston by day, Lisbon volunteer by night and weekends, received the request. Hood was the first one to respond, willing to provide a bean bag chair.

With the opening of school around the corner and determined to make the nook a reality, Hood organized a People Posse, Wanda Brown, Jeanne Hood, Terry Samson, Frank Federico, Becki Quimby, Deb Danforth, Sue Culleton and Jim Hood, to complete Hardison’s mission.

“Thanks to the generosity of the People Posse,” said Hood, “we were able to donate not six, but 10 new bean bag chairs for students to have a reading nook ready for use the first day of school.”
