Dear Editor:
Just a quick note to thank all those who participated in the Avery Re-Use Committee meetings over the past year, and also to thank the Board of Selectmen for allowing for such an open and transparent process. That process, and our committee, was put in place in anticipation of the relocation of the Avery School to its new location on Pottery Lane and the current facility being turned over to the town as surplus property.

The trustees of the Dedham Food Pantry want to express deep gratitude to those who helped out with and contributed to the Holiday Harvest Telethon in 2011. The funds raised will go far in helping us with our mission to provide supplemental food to qualified Dedham residents.
On behalf of the Dedham Council on Aging, I would like to thank the many people who were instrumental in making the Dedham Troubadours “Winter Wonderland” Variety Show a “standing room only” success!
I live north of Boston but Christmas drop-offs had me driving through Dedham Center on my way to Rt. 1, intending to buy children’s books for anonymous 8-year-olds as part of a Christmas toy drive that my workplace sponsors. As fate would have it, two finds converged in my line of sight: The Blue Bunny bookstore, and a nearby parking space. It’s a beautiful little store, chock full of treasures. With the knowledgeable help of the clerk, I soon had hot-off-the-press, age-appropriate books in hand. When I mentioned that they were for a toy drive, she offered a discount, and characterized it as “participating” in a good cause.
We are writing with our most heartfelt thanks to all of the Dedham residents and businesses that contributed to the 2011 Rocking the Stocking & Toys for Tots drive to benefit the Dedham Youth Commission. We continue to be amazed by the generosity we see each and every year.

The Society of St. Vincent de Paul would like to thank all the participants for joining us on our 2nd Annual Walk for the Poor held in September. It may have been a cloudy day, but the enthusiasm far out reached the clouds!

The Home for Little Wanderers would like to extend our gratitude to the Dedham community for their amazing contributions to The Home’s 2011 Backpack and School Supply Drive. Thanks to their generous support, this year’s was a great success. Children, families and local businesses donated nearly 1,100 bags filled with school supplies.
To the editor:
The weather didn’t cooperate this year for our Saturday (Oct. 29) Halloween Block Party, so we moved it to Sunday, Oct. 30. DJ Fanci Nancy blasted the tunes and McDonald Sqquare quickly filled up with children in ghoulish attire. We had normal fall weather and it is nice to see so many familiar faces and all the new and growing families in the neighborhood.
To the editor:
On behalf of the Dedham 375 Committee, we wish to thank all who joined us to celebrate a milestone birthday. It was a wonderful event, which brought together at least 7500 friends and neighbors. However, a party of this magnitude does not just happen! It takes much planning and an army of volunteers; some may have lent a hand for an hour or two, and some may have helped us for the duration of the event; nevertheless, to each volunteer, we offer our most sincere gratitud
