Dear fellow Hanoverians:
I hope you and your family are enjoying the holiday season. In keeping with
the spirit of giving that pervades this time of year, I am delighted to
bring you a wrap-up report from Libby Corbo, who brings us news regarding
this past fall’s "Candy for a Cause" collection here in Hanover:
"I just wanted to send along an update on the Candy for a Cause collection
at the John Curtis Free Library. This year we collected over 300 pounds of
candy! We sent 34 boxes full of candy and cards (made by local residents
and St. Mary’s CCD classes) to soldiers stationed overseas (and a local
state-side soldier as well)! A big thank you to the John Curtis Free
Library staff who collect all the candy with smiles, to Peter Nixon of AT&T
mobility who paid for ALL 34 boxes to be shipped out and, of course, to all
those that donated the candy and made cards! This year we received quite a
few local soldier nominations and we also sent boxes to units deployed out
of Massachusetts by using the website www.anysoldier.com
. This site links you to soldiers who
volunteer to receive mail and distribute packages to other soldiers in their
unit that have not received many packages from home. It is a site worth
visiting all year long."
