community event

Hi all,
   I've asked permission of the select board for a town wide yard sale to be held on the town green .My preliminary thoughts are to ask each family for $10.00 ( $ 5.00 if you bring your own table ) to cover costs for advertising and any thing left over would go to the restoration fund.Now I need to know if there's enough people interested . Please ask your neighbors who might not receive this and respond either way so I can get an idea as quickly as possible. I'm thinking that maybe Saturday October 11th during beautiful foliage in Sudbury ! What do you think ? We could have all the vehicles unload and then park in our field next to the Cooks so that we would have plenty of room for the SHOPPERS !!!!!
  It has also been suggested that maybe we could have a silent auction inside the meeting house on the same day . What do you think ?
   Lets get rid of some treasures to help pay the taxes and fuel bills this winter and have fun too !!!!!!!!!!!

From Kevin Troy about the breakins

> (maybe black or dark green) also newer model. They traveled up the

> including work numbers so that we can contact each other faster.
> It would have been nice to know to call the police as soon as I

New break-ins reported

Hi all,
I don't want to be the bearor of bad news but there was 2 more
break-ins this morning in Sudbury on Rt 144 one being a good friend
of mine and her neighbor. They were told theres been a rash of break-
ins in Orwell and think they may be working their way
here.................
Through phone calls I've been told Jen sent out an e-mail today I
haven't recieved it so I'm not sure what it says but I personally
feel its time to contact your legislature and I feel as hard as our
taxes are now its time to look into contracting with the Sheriff's
dept or state police how much could it possibly be per household
per year that would not be worth a little piece of mind. I am
personally concerned of our elderly that are home alone and children
who are home ............When is someone going to get hurt when they
surprise a burgalary...................
