Interested residents should act fast to order community calendars, which include birthdays, anniversaries, etc., along with photos of local venues and people, and a different color photo on each page. Purchase calendars by filling out a form at the Town Office. Customers must pick up their calendars at the Town Office in mid-December; they will not be delivered as in the past.
This year’s price will be $12. Proceeds from this project help pay out-of-town fees for local children’s lessons and make it possible to offer partial scholarships to those in need.
Call 488-6601 with any questions.
