The Christmas holiday will be upon us before we know it, and Santa Fund, sponsored by the town of Wiscasset, is collecting monetary donations to assist and ensure that local families enjoy a wonderful Christmas season.

The town of Wiscasset also participates in the "Adopt a Family" program, where local people, or organizations, or businesses provide gifts and/or dinner for the family.

Last year the town office "Tag Tree" was a huge success, and we are setting it up again! If anyone wants to participate this is how it works: you stop by the town office and pick a tag with gift information on it off the tree, buy the gift and return the wrapped gift with the original tag attached. The gifts need to be returned by Friday, December 21 before 3 p.m.

If you are interested in contributing to the Santa Fund or adopting a family please contact Sue Varney at the town office, 882-8200, extension 101 by Friday, December 14.
