Dear Neighbors,
Mother Nature seems to have delivered part two of a one, two punch. First with storm Irene, now with a record snowfall some are calling storm “Alfred,” we have seen some devastating storm damage. These storms are really a test of our resolve and teach us to help each other. We must pull together as a community and share resources to get to make these difficult days a little brighter. Thank you for checking on your neighbors and please share this with anyone who does not have Internet.
Below is a reference list of helpful resources:
