Dear fellow Hanoverians:<\/p>\n
I received a great note from reader Libby Corbo yesterday that I just had to
\npass along to all of you. Long-time readers will remember that Libby was
\nwoman who single-handedly orchestrated a massive candy collection at the
\nJohn Curtis Library after Halloween for our troops abroad.<\/p>\n
Just an update and note of thanks to ATOTW readers for all of the help with
\n"Candy for a Cause." We mailed 28 boxes of candy to soldiers from MA
\nserving overseas, including several Hanover residents who were nominated by
\nreaders. It could not have been done without AT&T Mobility (and reader
\nPeter Nixon) of Hanover which so graciously offered to pay for shipping all
\n28 boxes. The store manager, Chris, actually met me at the post office and
\nhelped to unload all the boxes. Reader Paul Hutchins of Lawn Ranger
\nLandscaping and Chris of AT&T donated money that also allowed me to purchase
\na large package of baby wipes (in high demand there) for each box. ATOTW
\nrecipient Patty Cockey offered beautiful cards made by the children in St.
\nMary’s CCD classes and (another ATOTW recipient) Joanne Collins coordinated
\ncards from the Hanover Middle School fifth grade classes of Ms. Dubois, Ms.
\nPaul, Mr. Ryan, Ms. McKenna, Ms. Hurley, Ms. Brandmark and Ms. O’Brien.
\nWOW! It is incredibly inspiring to think of what the community did for the
\ntroops. I wish I could be there when the boxes are opened and those
\nbeautiful cards are read. I enclosed a note in each box telling each of the
\nsoldiers about the community effort that created the box and the cards, as
\nwell as thanking the soldier and wishing him or her a safe return home.<\/p>\n
I am sending along a link and hope you will pass it along. This will take
\npeople to the public Facebook page containing pictures of the project. I
\nalso hope to post pictures in the Library (whose staff was amazingly helpful
\nwith the collection):<\/p>\n

Thank you ATOTW! Next year I hope to make the drive even better.
