Kingdom Animal Shelter Benefit

Good Morning!
Another beautiful fall day here at Joe's Pond.  The foliage is very nice - sort of spotty this year, with some places or singular trees showing very nice color, and in other spots some of the maples have turned a drab brown or simply dropped their leaves.  Blame our unusual weather, I suppose.  Even our stately maples are confused.
I had a note from Helen Morrison today reminding me that the Cabot Library has very generously agreed to sponsor a booth at the Apple Pie Festival to benefit the Kingdom Animal Shelter.  Here's what Helen wrote:  The booth will have lots of good books for sale by donation, and some very nice artwork for sale by price.  Kathleen Higbee has graciously offered to make this happen, and we are very grateful to her and to all those who have donated books and artwork.

You can donate books by calling Helen (563-2488).  She asks that the books be in good condition; no textbooks, please, and none with mildew or other damage.  Those "coffee table" editions people have given you may be just as interesting (or more!) to someone again as they were to you; that new book you just had to have, read, and is now languishing in a bookcase, could be an exciting read for someone else, and will bring some revenue to a very deserving organization dedicated to rescuing and caring for needy felines.

Helen also told me she will be glad to pickup or receive returnable bottles and cans, and will donate the proceeds to the Kingdom Animal Shelter.
