Lester Hall had quite an operation there on White St.
All the baby chicks you want! His pullets (young female chickens) lay their eggs earliest. Important to know - you don't want to wait 9 months for that first egg!

This is bittersweet post for me to write to this outstanding community. Friday, September 3, 2021, will be my last day working for the Town of Raynham.
It has been an amazing four years here as your Veterans' Service Officer. I have collaborated with many veterans’ organizations, nonprofits, amazing corporations, but most importantly the veterans and their families of Raynham.
This extended family I have made will ALWAYS be part of my journey as I have grown as a VSO. It will be difficult leaving you, but you will be in great hands with Pat and whoever they hire as the next VSO.
On Tuesday, September 7, 2021, as I take over as the Director of Veterans’ Services for the City of Fall River. I am excited to be a part of a much larger community and to be able to make a difference there too. Just as I have done here - I will strive to make it the best I can!

Sisterhood
“We're connected, as women. It's like a spiderweb. If one part of that web vibrates, if there's trouble, we all know it, but most of the time we're just too scared, or selfish, or insecure to help. But if we don't help each other, who will?”
~ Sarah Addison Allen, The Peach Keeper
“Once upon a time there were two sisters. One of them was really, really strong, and one of them wasn't.' You looked at me. 'Your turn.'
I rolled my eyes. 'The strong sister went outside into the rain and realized the reason she was strong was because she was made out of iron, but it was raining and she rusted. The end.'
No, because the sister who wasn't strong went outside into the rain when it was raining, and hugged her really tight until the sun came out again.”
~ Jodi Picoult, Handle with Care
"Women who understand how powerful they are do not give into envy over meaningless things, instead they fight to maintain the beautiful bond of the sisterhood. These are the real women who know that we need each other's love & support to survive in this world. Love is the essence of being a woman. We must be that light of love that seals the bond & unique beauty of our sisterhood." ~ Bindu
|
Sisters, we must listen to each other, love one another and stand up for each other... if not us, then who?
~ Jacquie
