I’ll be happy when this cold spell snaps and the flu season is over as it certainly has been an interesting start to the winter. Despite having a flu shot I still got the flu! I guess it would have been more severe if I hadn’t gotten the shot.

The 4th of July Celebration committee is in the planning stages for this year’s festivities. The next meeting is Tuesday, February 5 inthe Conference Room of the Rumford policestation. Join us (they can use dedicated volunteers) and share your ideas for fundraising activities and/or any thoughts you might have to make the event even more pleasurable (remembering the focus is on the fireworks!).
