SOUTHBOROUGH BOY SCOUTS ANNUAL HOLIDAY KIDS SHOP SET FOR DECEMBER 5 SOUTHBOROUGH,MA --- Troop 92 of the Boy Scouts of America, Southborough, MA will hold its annual holiday Kids’ Shop on Saturday, December 5th from 9am – 2pm at the Woodward Elementary School at 28 Cordaville Road in Southborough. The Kids’ Shop allows area children to do their holiday shopping for their parents, siblings, grandparents and pets in a safe environment with prices that reflect their limited budgets. The children are personally escorted though the shop by members of the Troop while parents or other relatives wait outside the shopping area in a café-like setting where they may purchase coffee, breakfast or lunch. Purchased gifts are wrapped, free of charge by parents of Troop members, thus allowing the children to keep their purchases secret until they are opened. Some of the items available for sale include toys, puzzles, ornaments, candles, mugs, picture frames, date books, calendars, socks, tools, work gloves, bird feeders, flashlights, kitchen & grilling utensils and supplies, fleece blankets, pet toys, totes, thermometers and much more. The Troop also sponsors a homemade cookie sale, which will be taking place concurrently with the Kids Shop, allowing adults to purchase desserts for the weekend or to freeze for later use. There will also be several items available as part of a raffle. All profits from these activities will go to Troop 92, to help offset the cost of their monthly camping trips and other troop expenses. The date of the Troop 92 Kids Shop coincides with Santa’s arrival at the Southborough Community House at noon, allowing parents to schedule their day around both events. Troop 92 is sponsored by St. Anne Church, Southborough and meets weekly on Tuesday evenings at 7:00 PM. For more information on joining the troop, please contact Peter DiStefano, Scoutmaster at petehaleysss@aol.com. |

Letters of Thanks to the Southborough Care Package Drive for Soldiers
I just wanted to write a quick note to say thank you so much for the care
package you sent. At first I didn't recognize the return address and really
tried to figure out who I knew from Massachusetts, but Tucker soon explained
that Courtney had put our names down on your list. I was very surprised to
receive such a generous package from folks I've never even met! You are too
kind! Tell everyone who donated, was involved with putting them together and
who organized the event that my Soldiers and I are very grateful for your
support! (I've been sharing with all the Soldiers I'm responsible for over
here - some of them aren't as lucky!)
Hello, how are you today. I wanted to get back with you as soon as possible
in regards to the care packages that were so carefully organized and put
together for us here in Iraq. A handful of us received them today and are
so grateful. We thank you for thinking of us in times like these. And in
saying that, I am proud to respond to the blessings you brought to us today.
It brought a smile to so many and I thought you should know. I received your package today. Thank You very much! The toiletries and Girl scout cookies went within 5 minutes! grew up in Norwell, Mass,....not too far from you. Your generosity has brightened the day of 20 American Service members. I thank you again for your thoughtfulness and for taking time to think of us. CDR Michael P. MacLellan, US Navy (Just a few of the letters that Lisa and Deb have been receiving since the packages shipped.) |

The fire service would like to remind all residents that when you change your clock, change your smoke detector batteries. As we approach the heating and holiday seasons, incidents of residential fires rise. Properly installed and maintained smoke detectors are your first line of defense in order to protect your family in the event a fire occurs in your home. If a fire does occur in your home, you only have less than one minute to safely escape after notification by a properly installed and maintained smoke detector. It may be too late to escape if proper warning is not provided if smoke detectors are not working due to missing smoke detectors or batteries. Should you have any questions regarding location or types of smoke detectors required, please feel free to contact Captain Joseph Mauro, Fire Prevention Officer at 508-485-3235, or fire_inspector@southboroughma.com

WINTER SPORTS ARE COMING AND KUDOS TO JEAN FEDAK! Francis Whitten III Director of Athletics With the fall season moving past the half way point, several of our teams are in the hunt for league championships and births in the district tournament. As is the norm for Algonquin Athletics, our student-athletes continue to represent their school and communities with outstanding performances on the field, by exhibiting sportsmanship, and through excellence in the classroom. Please show your support for these fine young men and women by continuing to attend their games, both home and away. Although we still have a great deal of upcoming excitement this fall, the winter season will be here before you know it. Winter coaches will be scheduling their pre-season meetings and prospective candidates will need to be certain to have a current physical on file, permission forms signed and their athletic fee paid. Please note the first day of tryouts will be Monday November 30th even though there is no school that day because it is a professional development day for staff. The tryout schedule, practice schedule and season schedule will be posted on our web site in the near future. I would also like to take this opportunity to recognize one of our own for her truly outstanding accomplishments over the past few months. Jean Fedak, our girls’ varsity volleyball and varsity swim coach as well as recently named head of the Health and Physical Education Department here at Algonquin, received the National Women in Sports Day Distinguished Service Award in February, was named to the Massachusetts State Girls Volleyball Hall of Fame in October, and will be inducted in the Women’s Northeast Agenda 7 Hall of Fame in November! This is an unprecedented tribute to a wonderful teacher-coach that we are extremely fortunate to have as a member of the athletic department and faculty. Please make note of an upcoming event being sponsored by our Athletic Booster Club. As the holidays approach the Booster Club will be opening an online store in conjunction with Boathouse apparel where you will have the opportunity to purchase “Algonquin Tomahawk” apparel. So be sure to “gear up” and show your T-Hawk Pride! See you at the games! |
