Recycling Committee Plans December 1 Holiday Swap

By Janet Moore and Robin Boynton, Holiday Swap Shop Co-Chairs

The annual Holiday Swap Shop/Gift Exchange will be held on Saturday, December 1, in the AE/MS gym from approximately 8:30 AM to 2 PM. Items for the Exchange may be dropped off at the school in the main lobby on Friday, November 30, or you may bring them in the morning of December 1.

This is not an ordinary swap shop, like the ones held at the Transfer Station throughout the warm months. The purpose is to share “gift ready” items with those who may truly need them for their holiday giving.

Please consider donating items clothes, toys, household goods, holiday decorations, sports and athletic equipment, all gently used and in good shape. Think of the joy you experience in giving, and pass on that joy so that someone else may give. Think of this day as an opportunity to make a difference.

We will also have a donation jar if you would like to drop off a few dollars, which will then be turned over to the Andover Food Pantry.

We thank you, and the goodness of everyone in this wonderful town, for this opportunity to spread joy.
