Thank You For Your Generosity

The Orange Community Women are grateful for a successful drive so far, Still time to drop off donations.

 

Following is a letter from Laura Griest, President of the Orange Community Women.

To the People of the Town of Orange and Neighboring Communities,

We are writing to thank you for the donations received for our soldiers.  The response has been overwhelming.  Orange Community Women will package the items and forward them to deployed soldiers overseas. 

The collection is on-going through the month of April at VideoLab/Davis Gallery, 200 Post Road in Orange.  Drop off donations in the decorated collection box daily from 10:00am-6:00pm and Saturday 10:00am-4:00pm at Video Lab.
