Text Box: January 2006 Text Box: Text Box: HOLIDAY PARTY A HUGE SUCCESS At least 75 residents attended the Dec. 10 holiday pancake breakfast, more than one quarter of townspeople. Because of the constantly moving crowd of animated children and adults, it was impossible to make an accurate count. An extraordinarily well-planned event, it was put together by the volunteer efforts of at least 22 residents, who were contacted by email by clerk-treasurer Cathie Polak. They offered to cook sausages, make pancake batter, buy ingredients, help set-up, and clean-up what became a most convivial breakfast for all. There was nothing fancy—just good food and good cheer. Those who contributed to its success were: Jan Shaut, Gloria Levin, Betsy Carpenter, the Steele family, Julia Wilson, Michelle Brafman, Angie Zeidenberg, Eleanor Balaban, Jim and Carlotta Anderson, Robin Kogelnik, Debbie Beers, Raya Bodnarchuk, Alexis Feringa, Jamie Platt, Susan Grigsby, Andrea and Steve Matney, Madeleine Carter and Alec Graham, and Willem and Cathie Polak. If we left anyone out, it was because so many people were there to help.
