Exciting news! We have adopted 600 voters and 260 letters are ready to be sent. At our July meeting, 100 letters were completed and 5 bundles were taken away. Good steady progress is being made!

Our next gathering will be hosted by Kim Hall at 8 Schipper Farm Lane in Southborough beginning at 1 PM on Tuesday, August 27. We usually spend about 2 hours writing letters but feel free to drop in for less time. We love to touch base!

We are planning a September party hosted by Kris Allen on Tuesday, September 10, from 10 - noon

If you aren't able to get to a letter writing party, I can prepare a packet for you and we can find a way to connect.
