To the Editor:

Thank you and Seasons Greetings. The response to our plea and your ad for Stop & Shop gift cards has been incredible. The kind generosity of so many residents, businesses and veterans' organizations will surely impact the lives of many North Attleborough veterans and their families.

To the Editor:

The bidding is over, the winners have been notified and now it is time to thank the ones that put so much time, effort, talent and expense into making the Friends of the Plainville Public Library's Holiday Baskets Silent Auction another success.

On behalf of the Board of Directors and Museum Director of the Falls Fire Barn Preservation Society, we would like to take this opportunity to thank the public who turned out on such a rainy morning for the open house and dedication of the George Cunningham Research Room held Oct. 27 during "Make A Difference Day!"

To the Editor:

Recently, the Massachusetts Highway Department ordered that all overhead patriotic displays across our highway bridges be removed. It is my belief that the presence of such displays not only demonstrates our collective gratitude to our brave service men and women, but also serves to remind us that our country is still at war.

To the Editor:

 I would like to take a moment and whole-heartedly thank the members of the South Attleboro Knights of Columbus for once again hosting a fabulous party for people who are served by The Arc of Northern Bristol County.
For 29 years, the South Attleboro Knights of Columbus have made this special holiday party for The Arc, and those who attend look forward to this gathering every year. The music, the food, the presents and the caring is wonderful, and we are most grateful.

Why would Alexandra Welch-Zorba try to spoil Thanksgiving for us turkey eaters?  Trying to guilt us into eating "tofurkey" simply won't work.

To the Editor:

The Plainville United Methodist Church would like to thank everyone involved for the success of our recent fair held Friday, Nov. 2 and Saturday, Nov. 3. Many thanks to all who braved the rain and windy conditions that Saturday.

Ben Franklin called the wild turkey “a bird of courage” and a true native of America. He had tremendous respect for turkeys’ resourcefulness, agility, and beauty, and he thought that the turkey should be the national bird of the United States.

To the Editor:

The criticism of (Director of Veterans' Services) Jim McCann (North Attleborough Veterans Day ceremony failed to recognize all organizations, Free Press Letters, 11/14/07) was uncalled for.

To The Editor:

Dear Mr. McCann:

Your program for Veterans Day in North Attleborough was an embarrassment to all Veterans in this town. Not once did you acknowledge the VFW, DAV or the American Legion.

To the Editor:

The Attleboro Area Council of Churches enjoyed a very successful "Broadway Revue and Auction" due to the support of many people and businesses.

To the Editor:

Dear North Attleborough residents,
Thank You North!  North "Makes A Difference Day" was a huge success. Because of your generosity Lenore's Pantry is now well stocked.

To the Editor:

This is in response to the letter in your Oct. 10 issue vilifying the Locks of Love organization (Letters, Writer offers look into charities who accept hair donations). While most of the information was correct, further explanation is needed.

To the Editor:

On Oct. 12 and 13, the Friends of the Plainville Public Library had another successful Book Sale and would like to thank all those that made this possible.

To the Editor:

We are two 16-year-old high school students looking to make a difference. Recently, Lenore's Pantry sent out an SOS in the local newspaper asking for donations as the pantry is nearly bare. As two active members in the community of North Attleborough, we decided to help them out.

To the Editor:

On behalf of the Board of Trustees and everyone at the library, I would like to thank the Friends of the Richards Memorial Library for a very successful book sale this September. Many volunteers invested many hours to bring the sale about and I thank all of you.

To the Editor:

I happened across Mr. (Todd) Carges’s column entitled The Naked Communist (Oct. 3, 2007 Free Press), and I have to admit that I was quite taken aback by the level of shameless blatant right wing propaganda that is printed weekly in your publication.
While I agree that the school district in Illinois may have taken extreme measures in the name of political correctness, this incident in no way reflects the incorporation of an undercurrent of communist idealism into American sensibilities.
