Many thanks to the
Chichester Firemen’s Association for lighting the tree at Carpenter
Park. It is a beautiful reminder of the holiday season.
The Socks for Seniors
collection will end on December 20. Pairs of brightly colored socks
may be left in the boxes at the Chichester Library, the Pittsfield
Lilbrary, and The Out Of Your Attic Thrift Shop. The socks will be
given to residents of area nursing homes for Christmas as part of
the Socks for Seniors program, sponsored by Chichester Grange. Let’s
see if we can beat last year’s count.
Chichester Grange will
meet on Wednesday, December 21, at 7 p.m. upstairs in the Grange
Hall.
Happy Birthday on
December 24 to Jordan Davison and Richard Millette.

Chichester Public Library News
Have you stopped by, yet,
to see the exhibit of artwork by Chichester Central School students
participating in the Currier Outreach Program? The assemblage of
pictures of the Cog Railway is particularly fascinating, showing the
similarity of subject, as well as the individuality of each of these
young artists. There’s still time, as the exhibit will continue
throughout the month of December. Kudos to our young artists!
The Knitting Circle meets
today at 3:30 p.m.
The
pre-school/kindergarten hour is scheduled for Thursday at 10:30 a.m.
Monday, December 19th, is
the Lovers of the Chichester Library meeting at 7 p.m. Newcomers

The holidays are truly
around the corner, and the kids and grandkids will be off from
