 December 2, 2014 Canandaigua Connected ENewsletter
'Tis the season for giving. For the next two weeks, bring your gently used winter coats, hats, gloves, socks, thermal clothing, boots and blankets to a Canandaigua Fitness class. We are collecting for local homeless people (in both Canandaigua and Rochester) who are in need this winter. Your closet probably has extra items that would do a family a world of good. Thank you for bringing whatever you can. If you cannot get to a class, you can also drop off at Simco Galleria on Main Street. The CF studio is directly above Simco. Happy December!
Blue Skies, Donna Bennett
