Local Dollars Helping Local People

More Than 30 Years of Service to the Acton-Boxborough Community

October 24, 2012

Dear Neighbor,

Bringing people together from all parts of our community for our Day of Caring was both fun and truly inspiring. The volunteers came from our local business community as well as the high school and ranged in age from 15 to 50 plus! The weather cooperated this year; we worked outside at many sites in glorious fall weather. The definition of "a coming together" - includes be friends, congregate, rally, buddy up, get together, coalesce, and assemble for a common purpose. This September our Day of Caring was that...and so much more.

We hope you will join us at one of our upcoming programs or events. Thank you for your continued support.

NEW: Live Auction Item at Casino Royale

Luxurious Jamaican Villa Week

Jamaica Cottage photo3

Part of the fun at Casino Royale on Nov. 3rd will be the live auction of one week at Cliffside Cottage in Jamaica. This five bedroom, five bathroom luxury home is located above Montego Bay and includes complimentary Round Hill and Tryall Club membership for tennis, golf and beach. The property has been offered at a local school auction in past years, so we asked some of the Acton families who have vacationed there for a review:

"We went with my entire family, my mom, brother and sister, and her family. It is a very special place made even more lovely by the staff. . . ."

"... an unbelievable, once in a lifetime experience! The house was perfect for sharing with other families, with 3 master BRs, 2 kids' rooms, and great common space. The pool at the villa and the view from the cliff behind it were amazing. Having a private cook was awesome . . ."

See our website for more details and start planning your successful bid with family or friends
