Dear fellow Hanoverians:
This just in from ATOTW reader Libby Corbo…
“It’s that time of year again and Candy for a
Cause is back! I was absolutely blown away by the donations and
generosity of all who responded to our candy collection. Not only did we
get over 200 pounds of candy sent to troops, but we received additional
donations which allowed us to put a huge package of highly valued baby wipes in
each box. AT&T Wireless Hanover Store (thanks
to another ATOTW reader Peter Nixon) paid for all 28 boxes to be shipped
(and many other Hanoverians stepped forward to offer shipping
contributions). Most touching were the handmade, heartfelt cards
made by ATOTW readers with connections to St. Mary’s CCD classes and 5th grade
classes at Hanover Middle School. I am excited to be collecting
candy again this year and Peter Nixon/AT&T has again stepped forward and
pledged to pay for 20 boxes to be shipped overseas! WOW!”
Libby and friends will be collecting candy again at the John Curtis Library
(thanks to the Library staff who are willing to do this yet again) from
November 1 – 6th . They also would love to have
residents nominate local soldiers to receive packages this year. Please
contact Libby at 781-878-4059 or elizacorbo@hotmail.com to
do so. If anyone would like to make a card, they would be honored to
include those in the packages as well.
Finally, people can stop by the library and look at some of the pictures from
last year’s collection (as well as one of the thank you notes that was
received). This link also should allow people to access some pictures
from last year’s collection: www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=3D45136&id=3D1384 856435&l=3D31424a394b
