| 'Thank You' from Vangie |  Vangie McCormick would like to thank her fellow members of the Munsonville Ladies' Group, her former co-workers from the town office, and other friends & neighbors who surprised her with a farewell luncheon last week.
She is very appreciative of the generous gifts, but was even more pleased by the turn-out of dear friends. All are going to be deeply missed when they move. |

| Lost & Found
| Just when you thought you had it. You may have stuck it in your pocket, or so you thought! Wherever did you leave it?
Someone was out walking recently, probably on Center Pond Road or nearby, and Found: a pair of tan suede gloves, fleece-lined, probably size L; and a hand-knit blue and green striped cap.
They await their owner, probably a person with chapped hands and cold head, in the Town Office.
