Toys for Tots campaign It's that time of year again, and as in the past Linda Clukey, Director of Human Services, will be heading up the local Toys for Tots campaign.

Linda's office is taking applications from those who are seeking help through the program. Applications are available in the Town Office. Applications must be returned to the Human Services Office no later than December 20th to insure that gifts are available.

The program relies heavily on donations of cash or toys from individuals, organizations and businesses.
