News Notes...
* Thanks to Myra Mansouri, Zoning Board Chairperson, and Board members M.T. Lester, David Calhoun, for hosting the Walpole Leadership academy last night before and during its regular meeting. Academy participants learned all about the Board's work and participated in an extended discussion of zoning policy matters. Former member Bill Webb and current alternate members Ernie Vose and Peggy Pschirrer (a Leadership Academy participant as well) also took part.
* Since publication of the story on the shortages at the Fall Moutain Food Shelf in The Walpolean last Saturday and in the Eagle Times on Monday, the Food Shelf has received a heartening outpouring of food donations and generous checks, according to director Mary Lou Huffling! At the moment the Food Shelf is gearing up for its distribution of around 500 Thanksgiving baskets on Saturday. Of course continuing suppoort is needed. Thanks to everyone that lept into the crisis with their contributions!
* Bobby Hall reports that he was not able to save the herd of red deer and elk that he was focusing on a few weeks ago. However, he did tell me yesterday that the people that had made ocntributions to save them had told him to keep the funds they had donated and to use them for future rescue efforts of his organization. For further information on Second Chance Animal Rescue, call Bobby at 399-7152.
