■The Bow Rotary organization’s holiday trees and wreaths sold out in just one week and they wish to thank the community for their overwhelming support! All money derived from the sale, as always, will remain within Bow community Center. Thank You and happy holidays from the Bow Rotary!
■The garden club would like to thank all the townspeople and area residents who purchased holiday poinsettias from their annual Poinsettia Pre-Sale Fundraiser this year. A record number of plants were purchased as well as swags, containers of fresh greens, and fancy colorful bows, all made and decorated by members–a first this year. All proceeds from this fundraiser go toward the club’s continuing civic beautification efforts within the Town of Bow. Thanks again and “see you next year.” Merry Christmas.
