There is no denying it; the holidays are here. Decorations have begun to show at our local stores, and the annual Art in Sixes event at DVAA is a great success. There was a record number of artists, over 100, and a record number of their artworks are for sale. This is a great way to purchase a unique gift for the difficult one on your list, or a way to add to your own collection. Or you can just stop by and enjoy the beautiful array of small works of art created by local artists.

This Thursday, turkeys will adorn our tables along with lots of other fine foods. We are reminded to give thanks for what we have, but not everyone is as fortunate, and now is the time to share. Here are a few ways:

The Ecumenical Food Pantry is sponsoring an “Open Your Hearts to Kids” toy drive. There are several ways to participate in this drive: bring an unwrapped toy to any one of our churches, or send a check made to the Narrowsburg Ecumenical Food Pantry and indicate on your check that it is intended for toys. Checks can be mailed to Joanne Letendre at 93 Perry Pond Rd., Narrowsburg, NY 12764. For more information call Joanne at 845/252-3971. Donations must be made by December 13.

Another way to share is through the Community Outreach Program, which provides year-round support for our neighbors. They are collecting monetary donations for Christmas gift cards. You can mail a check, no later than December 18, to Barbara Drollinger, PO Box 8, Narrowsburg, NY 12764 or call 845/252-3224.

The best part of these two programs is knowing that your donation will definitely go to your neighbors. Giving always puts you in a holiday spirit. Add to the spirit and come down to the annual tree lighting and caroling on the deck on Saturday, November 28 at 5 p.m. You never know who might show up….

Happy Thanksgiving!
