As in past years, the Presents with Santa was a tremendous success throughout the community. Many have reached out to tell us just how much it meant to their children. Great job by all who took part and gave their time to take Santa around to see all the kids. We also ran a toy drive that benefited the Boys and Girls Club of Worcester. This was our first time doing it and we were able to deliver a large amount of toys for them to distribute to those in need. Thanks to all who assisted in that program, hopefully in future years it will get even bigger. Attached is a thank you note from the Boys and Girls Club. Keep up the good work, everything we do makes a positive difference in the community.</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Thanks:</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Chief Hall</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><pre><b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Californian FB",serif'>Russ Hall<o:p></o:p></span></b></pre><pre><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Californian FB",serif'>Fire Chief/EMD<o:p></o:p></span></pre><pre><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Californian FB",serif'>Holden Fire Dept.<o:p></o:p></span></pre><div><pre><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Californian FB",serif;color:black'>1370 Main Street</span><span style='font-family:"Californian FB",serif;color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></pre><pre style='font-variant-ligatures: normal;font-variant-caps: normal;orphans: 2;text-align:start;widows: 2;-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;text-decoration-style: initial;text-decoration-color: initial;word-spacing:0px'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Californian FB",serif;color:black'>Holden, MA 01520</span><span style='font-family:"Californian FB",serif;color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></pre><pre style='font-variant-ligatures: normal;font-variant-caps: normal;orphans: 2;text-align:start;widows: 2;-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;text-decoration-style: initial;text-decoration-color: initial;word-spacing:0px'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Californian FB",serif;color:black'>508-210-5650</span><span style='font-family:"Californian FB",serif;color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></pre></div><pre><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></pre><pre><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Californian FB",serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></pre><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New",serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div></body></html>
