Dear fellow Hanoverians,<\/p>\n
If you have lived in Hanover for any length of time, it would be hard to not know the awesome Blumberg Family.\u00a0 Besides being big Hanover Foundation folks, music program supporters and generous jewelry store owners, the kids are record-setting Girl Scout cookie sellers and now Make a Wish letter-gatherers.\u00a0 I am pleased to bring you this recent letter from college student Ashley Blumberg and her community-minded family: Thank you in advance for helping to make wishes come true.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 Dear Santa, Sincerely, \u00a0<\/p>\n For “Around Town on the Web”, Dear fellow Hanoverians, If you have lived in Hanover for any length of time, it would be hard to not know the awesome Blumberg Family.\u00a0 Besides being big Hanover Foundation folks, music program supporters and generous jewelry store owners, the … Continue reading

\nI would like to invite all of our townspeople to come to the Hanover Mall and participate in a very worthwhile cause. The Make-A-Wish Foundation will receive a $1 donation for every “Letter to Santa” written and delivered to Macy\u2019s before Dec. 24th. Through their Believe Campaign, Macy’s has agreed to donate up to
\nOne Million Dollars
\nto this nonprofit organization. The average “Wish” granted to children with life-threatening medical conditions costs approximately $6500 and over 300 wishes were granted last year. The goal for 2009 is 350 wishes, so we need to get those letters written.
\n\u00a0
\nPlease Write to Santa and Make Wishes Come True!

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I will be setting up a table by the Photo with Santa display in the center of the Mall to help generate the letter writing, collect the letters, and increase the total donations from Macy’s to Make-A-Wish as part of my college service project.\u00a0 I am hoping our classroom teachers and Boy Scout and Girl Scout Troop Leaders will do this simple writing exercise (2-4 sentences) and make writing a letter to Santa into a lesson for giving to others. Please stop by the Make-A-Wish table beginning this Wednesday, December 17th between 3:00PM and 8:00PM weekdays and 10:00AM to 6:00PM on the weekend to write a letter or drop off letters written at home. Forms for letters may be downloaded using the attached template or any sheet of white paper will do. No stamp is needed! Please write those letters to Santa and stop by the Make-A-Wish table before the 24th! See you at the Mall!

\nIf any students in town need service hours and would like to help man the Make-a-Wish table at the Mall, they may contact me at ablum119@regiscollege.edu<\/a> .<\/p>\n

\nTell Santa why you\u2019re one in a million!
\nGet your crayons, pencil or pen. Write your letter here, and bring it to the Hanover Mall addressed to Santa at the North Pole. Make sure you drop it into our special Santa letterbox. We\u2019ll count them up, and for each letter received, Macy\u2019s will donate $1 to the Make-A-Wish Foundation\u00ae up to $1,000,000. Then, we\u2019ll bring them to the Post Office for mailing to Santa, and together, we\u2019ll collect a million reasons to believe.<\/p>\n
