Women's Club Christmas Party: Calling all Knitters
For many years the Sandwich Women's Club—now almost 100 years old—has hosted a Christmas Tree party complete with Santa and Mrs. Claus, where all Sandwich children receive presents that include hats or mittens knitted or donated by members of our community. Last year over 160 Sandwich children received hats, mittens, and other gifts, and there is a similar number this year, so once again we need your help!
If you’re a knitter and can contribute homemade goods, thanks – there’s something very special about neighbors knitting for neighbors! We’ve learned that kids who’ve grown up with fleece don’t take as well to wool (scratchy and doesn’t dry well), so if you can use acrylic yarn that would be great. If you don’t knit but want to help, purchasing hats or mittens to donate is still special! Sizes range from infant to 6th grade (infant-toddler-child-some adult by 6th).
We will have boxes on the main floor of the Library and in the entry of the Town Hall for you to drop off your contributions, by December 9th, please and thanks. More info about the time and place of the party to follow.
PS: The library is also collecting no longer needed eye glasses, box in the same place.

Meals on Wheels Needs Drivers
Want to give back to the community? The Meals on Wheels program is in desperate need for drivers to deliver meals in Sandwich. For those who are housebound, having meals delivered is very important. Commitments are very flexible for volunteers’ convenience. If you think you might like to volunteer at least one day each week, please call the Moultonborough office 603-476-5110.
