It’s been yet another crazy year … full of ups and downs and stops and starts as we all try to get back to “normal.” One bright spot – this year Holiday Dreams celebrated its 15th anniversary! Since its inception, Holiday Dreams has supported and given the joy of the holidays to nearly 15,000 children and countless families. It’s a staggering number, and we could not have done any of this without all of you. With so much gratitude, we thank you and are humbled by everyone’s generosity during the last 15 years.
Election Day is often on November 4, and this year, the Holliston Historical society presented a program that celebrated the suffrage movement in Holliston. Alas, in March 2020, we were rehearsing the program and were just about to present it to the public when so many activities were cancelled and postponed. But on November 4, 2021, we bravely returned in person to celebrate – a little belatedly – the 100th anniversary of Women’s Suffrage in the United States.
