November is a unique month. It is both a month of reflection, on the blessings of our past and present, and an opportunity to look forward with hope to the holiday season and new year. While you prepare for your Thanksgiving, we encourage you to give back: through a food drive (one opportunity below), a community or volunteer group or by attending a Town meeting to share your thoughts with Council and residents. Meanwhile, we wish for you a wonderful Thanksgiving and safe travels (if travelling). As always, please visit the Town's website for additional news and events.
