Congratulations to our website drawing winners!
July 2010: Thank you to our community for helping us to 'Go Green"! In July we contacted our members with a request to check out our new website and confirm member contact information on-line (instead of using paper mailings). We also conducted a drawing where those members that participated were automatically entered into a drawing for 1 of 4 gift certificates. We had a great response and we send our congratulations to our drawing winners: Kevin L. from Sandwich, MA, Rebecca I. from North Providence, RI, Stewart R. from Salem, NH and William P. from Bridgeport, CT.
