| THE MITTEN TREE |
 |
Thank
you, to all who so generously contributed to our Mitten Tree.
United Way received 4 large boxes of mittens, gloves, scarves and hats
to distribute to the needy in the area. |
| Progress Towards A
New Library |
The
Borough Council is working with the Library towards the promised new
and bigger building, to replace our current cramped and inadequate
space.
We would welcome offers of expert volunteer help, from fund-raising to
architecture and engineering, as we are trying to keep costs down as
much as possible.
If you support the concept of a new library, and would like to be kept
informed of progress, please contact us at: tintonfallslibrary@yahoo.com
with your name and address.
