Updated (11/8/14 2:00 pm): As pointed out in comment, I had wrong time listed for Family Farm Day tomorrow. Sorry about that!!!
Thanks for the information! Can you clarify the time for the cow event? A previous post says 11:30. Thank you.
Thanks for pointing out the discrepency. The time is 11:30.
I entered it into my calendar wrong by accident, and pulled that info for events for the week. Sorry for the confusion.
We were away this week-end and could not have the scouts pick up our items for the Food Pantry. Does anyone know the Food Pantry hours? Thanks very much.
I don’t know the hours, but was told you could drop off donations at any of the town churches. Looking at their website, they list these locations:
Pilgrim Church – side entry opposite Town Hall
St. Anne Church – inside front door of Church or at the entry to the Parish Hall
St. Mark’s Church – in the narthex of the Church or in the foyer of the Parish Hall
St. Matthew Church – inside the front door of the Church
Thanks for your help. I will drop off Monday.
