CHARITY FASHION SHOW
From the Issue:
January 2012 Times are economically tough for numerous families around the country. With the high unemployment rate and rising cost of commodities (milk, bread, eggs, etc.) it is very difficult for people to provide for their families. Organizations like the Helping Hand Center in Troy are assisting people to lessen the burden of these financial constraints. Helping Hand is foremost a food pantry. They also sell clothes and other donated items for about a dollar, which anyone in the may community purchase. All of the proceeds are then used to buy food for families in need. The number of families that need assistance are constantly growing. With that said, it makes it very important for donations to come in.

CHRISTMAS WISHES

November 2011If your family is unemployed or underemployed, we can help give your children a wonderful Christmas to remember. Please contact the Selectmen’s Office during regular business hours, 242-7722.
TD Bank will set up a Christmas tree in their lobby on Thanksgiving weekend, decorated with tags with a boy or girl’s age and a wish. I invite you to participate in the gift giving. It offers a way for many people who are able, to give a gift to a less fortunate child.

November 201124th Annual Round Robin Holiday Tour
From the Issue:
November 2011Remember…saving up your pennies and going out in search of that perfect, meaningful gift? You stepped out of the cold into a store all decked out with holiday cheer. You felt that warm, pleasant glow just looking around. Then, you saw it! The perfect present! Once home, you carefully wrapped it and hid it. You waited. Then, at the perfect moment, you passed it over and watched someone’s eyes light up. They probably still cherish it… These simple acts of love and family were enough to make the season bright.
So, this season, pull yourself away from the impersonal, flickering pulse of your computer screen and head away from the grating neon lights and crowds of the “big box” stores. Instead, explore a little store right around the corner. Who knows? You may actually enjoy your holiday shopping. It’s your time and your money, after all. Make the most of it. Enjoy the whole experience.
