Only 10 more shopping days until Christmas. Still looking for that special gift. Be sure to visit our online store at http://www.haddamhistory.org/ where you will find books, toys and our unique and special 2010 Calendar. The calendar would be the perfect gift for neighbors, postman, teacher or anyone who appreciates and supports local history.

The calendars are also available around town at various locations including the Town Office Building, Library, Hi-Way Package, Higganum Feed, Higganum Physical Therapy, Town and Country Nurseries and Coffee Connection.

Many thanks to all the wonderful volunteers who helped out at our Walkley Winter Windows on Saturday, December 5, 2009. Although the weather did not cooperate we had a decent turn out and all our visitors enjoyed the tour and activities.

Janet Verney did a fabulous job at the Town Hall with the dessert bar, activities and craft sale. The committee of Jan Sweet, Sue Costa, Cindy O'Neill, Kathy Sullivan, Kathy Stanton, Emmalyn and Sylvia Lecky, Elaine Stephens, Deb Rutter, Amy Roper, Carol and Terry Smith and Pat Hartman are to be applauded for all their hard work and creativity.

A big thank you to Cynthia Goetz and Liz Yorke, Sarah and David Neal and Sean and Kristin Donlan for their hospitality and stunning rooms. Thanks to Oliver Neal and Paul Morasutti for standing out in the cold and to Dave Malloy, Rich Stephens and Cody Harlow for their contributions.
