New Walpole Business Directory Published
By Chuck Bingaman, Contributing Writer
The new, 2008 Walpole Civic and Business Directory covering Walpole, North Walpole and Drewsville, is now available for sale at outlets around Walpole, according to project co-chair Lil DeCoste.
Priced at 50 cents to cover printing costs, the 36-page, softbound directory seeks to promote local commerce and to enable Walpole residents to
buy locally by listing virtually all Walpole businesses categorized by type. The list ranges from Accessories—Travel, Accountants—Certified Public, and Advertising to Woodworking, Writing Coach and Yoga Instruction. In between there are hundreds of entries with names, street addresses, and phone numbers and often email addresses and web sites.
In addition to the comprehensive business listings, the new Directory lists contact information and hours for Walpole town offices, boards and commissions, and gives phone numbers of local justices of the peace and notaries public. It also lists all Walpole medical services and their addresses and phone numbers and all local, state and federal government offices and officials as well as churches and emergency and crisis numbers. It even lists Walpole clubs, societies and associations along with phone numbers of contact persons.
“It’s a project of the Walpole Leadership Academy graduates,” according to DeCoste, “and we’re sponsored by the Walpole Grange. The prior editions of the Directory had been assembled by the Women of Walpole, but they decided to turn the project over to us.”
Others who worked on the project include Peg Dion, Carol Failla, Heather Ferland, Vicky Dudley, M.T. Lester, Barbara Lounsbury, Marie Paoletta, Barbara Plumley, Mary Lee Pulvermann, Jana Sellarole, Stephanie Stoughton, Cindy Westover, and Sue Bingaman.
Directories are available at Galloway Real Estate Services, the Walpole Market, local banks, Walpole Town Hall, North Walpole Commissioner's Office, Walpole Wash'n'Dri, Drewsville General Store, and others. --30--
