Semi-annual rummage sale was a success

Dear Editor,

The staff, clients and board of Black River Good Neighbor Services offer their sincere thanks to the donors, customers and volunteers who made our semi-annual rummage sale a great success. We held the sale on May 19-21 at Fletcher Farm on Route 103 in Ludlow. Whether customers wanted clothes, furniture, household goods, books, shoes, baked goods, lunch or whatever, they seemed to find something.

All the goods we sell are donated by the community over many months, and we are grateful for such generosity. We raise money through our rummage sales to buy the food we distribute through our food shelf, and to provide crisis financial assistance to the community. The cycle of support both begins and ends with the community. We recycle goods to help those who need help the most.

Our next rummage sale will be held this fall on Sept. 22-24.

Peter J. LaBelle, Ludlow

What happens to campaign signs?

November 14, 2024
Dear Editor, We hope all campaign signs will disappear after Nov. 5. We also hope they will NOT end up in a landfill. Most, if not all, of the signs are plastic, which means they can’t be recycled. However, they can be reused or re-purposed. Think roofing or siding material, killing invasives in your garden,…
