Highland Light
    On December 15th, Santa made his annual visit to the Highland Light. A large group of Truro Elementary School children and their parents were there to greet him as his helicopter circled the lighthouse and landed on the fairway of the Highland Links. The town Recreation Dept. provided hot chocolate and donuts while Santa distributed presents to the children. This event is made possible through a grant from the Truro Treasures Committee.
    After 8 years of organizing the Annual Ocean to the Bay 5 mile run/walk, Francene Webster will be stepping down from the position of Race Director. This event is the only fundraiser for the Highland Light. If anyone is interested in taking over as Race Director, please contact Francene at 508.487.1121 or email at highlandlight@earthlink.net.
   Happy New Year from the Staff and Board of Directors of Highland Light.
