Holiday Bazaar Wish List

Our Holiday Bazaar is "early" this year: Saturday Dec. 1st. We are hoping to get donations for the following departments:

  • "Boutique" -- new or "like-new" items appropriate to be given as gifts.
  • "White Elephant" -- clean, usable items that you no longer need but that someone else might want.
  • Handmade items -- knit, crocheted, quilted, sewn, painted,   tatted, embroidered, or any other handicraft of your choice.
  • Jewelry -- earrings, bracelets, pendants, necklaces, rings, pins… whatever you are willing to part with.
Donations may be dropped off at the Center between 8:30AM and 4:00 PM, Monday through Friday.
NEW THIS YEAR:
Our Bake Sale, usually part of the Bazaar, will now be held in conjunction with our annual Cookie Walk on Saturday,  Dec. 15th. We will be calling the people on our list of bakers, but we hope other people will also donate homemade cookies, breads, pies, candies, baked beans, etc.
We will also have a Silent Auction. Bidding will open at the Bazaar, and will continue until 11:30 AM at the Cookie Walk/Bake Sale. Come check out some excellent gift items.

Tax Counselors Needed

     TaxAide, the group sponsored by AARP to help people file their federal and state income tax forms, is looking for volunteers for the upcoming tax season. Some familiarity with tax   filing and with computer use is helpful but not mandatory, as training in both areas is provided.
     This is a great way to help  others and to hone some skills. TaxAide offers tax preparation at Bugbee Senior Center in WRJ, Thompson Senior Center in Woodstock, and the VA Medical Center.
     If you would like more information or to volunteer, please call Steve Carter at (802) 457-5141 or email him at

swcarter@wildblue.net.
