There has been a nip in the air the past few mornings and there is a frost watch out for some areas overnight.
This can only mean one thing.
It’s Turkey A Thon Time!!!!!
We are only one month away from the big day, October 11th. I hope everyone is getting excited, I know everyone at WQDY / WALZ and WCRQ is.
And there is never a doubt that our partners at Healthy Acadia are.
Our sponsors, Dunkin in Calais and Machias, and VL Tammaro in Woodland and in Calais, couldn’t wait to be a part of this event again this year.
So, it’s looking to be a great year.
In my last email, I hinted about this being a special year and promised a grand total from our first 19 years.
So, from 2005 through 2023, we have raised over $471,000!!!! That means, this year we will pass the HALF A MILLION DOLLAR MARK!!
When I say we, I mean all of you, plus so many more people it would be impossible to list them all.
Please, take a bow.
You all deserve it.
But, that doesn’t mean the food pantries don’t still need our help.
All money from past years has already been spent at local grocery stores and delivered to local people who need a helping hand.
They do a great job, but they still need your help. Many of the people we have been able to help, are now volunteers or have made donations themselves.
That is what the Turkey A Thon is all about.
Have a great evening and I look forward to talking to you all again soon.
