Oxford Daisy troop 60752 and Brownie troop 60325 donated Christmas stockings filled with goodies to the Valley United Way for distribution to children in need this holiday season.

Members of both troops, pictured here with their donations above, were joined by Patricia Tarasovic, director of the volunteer center at the Valley United Way. She is also in the picture.

This article seems to be nothing more than an anonymous and free infomercial for Staples.…Read More "J" posted this same spam "article" on Patch sites in many towns, just changing the name of the town to match the Patch site. That seems to be the spirit of Staples, free-loading in every way they can. Even this "teacher program" has nothing to do with eliminating the need for teachers to spend their own money on school supplies --it is simply a way for that retailer to take advantage of the situation by attracting the lucrative teacher market. Staples should change their name to MADE IN CHINA OFFICE SUPPLIES, as virtually nothing they sell is manufactured in our country.
