Dear Villagers,
The Village wants to add your favorite recipe to our Village Cook Book. And to spark involvement, we're holding a raffle. Each recipe emailed to member Pauline Derby between January 15 and February 15 will have a chance to win a $25 Market Basket money card. Members and volunteers - let's share our tastiest recipes!
Villagers may also be interested in this upcoming online course, co-facilitated by member Barbara Dowd, titled Standing Up to Racism. In three 90-minute sessions on February 4, 11, and 18, the course will examine the roots of systemic racism and outline what anti-racism actions people can take to help address it.
And here's a very special New Year's message to take with you through 2021.
