Hurricane Sandy relief efforts

Dear fellow Hanoverians:
Leave it to Hanover residents in general and “Around Town on the
Web” recipients in particular to find a way to step up to the plate
when folks are in need! The following e-mail comes from Hanover
resident Jeannie Murphy…a genuinely good soul…

“We are organizing an area for Hanover residents to drop off
donations for the people who have been affected by Hurricane Sandy. I
know that there are a lot of people out there that want to help but
don’t know what to do. I just can’t sit back and look at the pictures
of devastation and listen to the stories on the news. We will be
filling a truck of all of the donations and will be driving them down
to Sea Bright, NJ.

We are accepting donations until THIS Friday, 11/16th. Anyone can drop
off the donations to our house at 164 Laurie Lane and leave them on
the farmer’s porch (in case it rains).

Here is a list of the needed items:
