We tore up our attic floor to add insulation, and we have a stack of boards in our garage that would be PERFECT fuel for a sugar house. The wood is untreated and dry with some nails still attached, and could also be used for creative carpenters (picture frames?). Varied size up to 1 ft x 12 ft. Pick-up required. First come first served. Call 257-4146.

FALL BULB FUNDRAISER

Thinking about fall bulbs? Consider choosing from a colorful selection offered as a fundraiser for FOX, the science-in the-classroom-program offered by trained volunteers to Putney Central students in grades 1-5. Order forms and photos of the various selections will be available in mid-September through students, faculty & staff and volunteers, as well as at the school and at select public locations.You can also call Louise (387-5548) or Kai (387-2877).

The school budget funds one-half of the FOX program costs, and fundraisers--including the bake sale and soup lunch at Town Meeting--fund the other half.
