Knitters and Donations Needed

By Beverly Wrigley

Plans for the annual Head Start Christmas party are getting under way. This year's party will be held at the Augusta Armory on Wednesday, December 12. Santa has been alerted and has put the date on his busy schedule. The tree has been ordered and will be delivered in time to be decorated with lots of mittens for the children. The State Troopers Association will also be joining us to give each child a teddy bear. The cooks at the Blaine House are busy making fancy decorated cookies for the event.

However, as always, before this event can happen we need knitters to help make mittens to fit 3-5 year old children, or if you do not knit and you wish to donate yarn for mittens, we will gladly accept it. Also, we need monetary donations to cover the cost of the gifts for the children. Any yarn, mittens or monetary donations may be sent to Beverly Wrigley at 145 State House Station or call 624-9440. We can make arrangements to pick up the donations. Please put December 12 on your calendar and join us at the Armory to see for yourselves what happiness and delight you have helped bring to these less fortunate children in our area.
