Happy Halloween! As the cold weather comes upon us, here's a reminder that we're hosting our annual Mitten Tree at the Hearthside Holiday Party at the Caleb Nickerson Homestead on Sat., Dec. 6 from 1 to 4. Thanks to your generosity, we have donated over 200 pairs of mittens and other knitted items to the Chatham Children's Fund in the past five years.
