It's time to get this site running again and serving "you" the community.
We hoped after getting this site going organizations and people would post their own events and comments. After we stopped posting them ourselves things slowed down. We feel it is very important for all the groups and individuals in town to have a platform for spreading the good news about whats going on. So here is another attempt for "you" to post events and community information.
December is a very busy month so we are expecting there is a lot of information out there that will need to be posted.
Thank you
and Happy Holidays

A very generous community member stepped up to the plate and bought everything we needed. It is greatly appreciated, We are a very small group and funds are always limited

Happy Holidays to all from the Winchester Learning Center! This year, thanks to donations of toys from the Fire and Iron Firefighters Motorcycle Club, we were able to give each child at the WLC a toy. The smiles were contagious.
We were also able to connect over 30 children with organizations and businesses to give these families a memorable Christmas. These organizations included the Town of Winchester, Toys for Tots, The Ashuelot Village and Children’s fund, Global Truck Trader, LLC and many more individual donors.
