On Saturday, November 2, 2024, from 9:00 am to 12:00 noon, Cub Scout Pack 299 and Boy Scout Troop 299 held their Scouting for Food Drive. We collected for the annual Scouting for Food Drive a total of 375 pieces of people food and pet food. We also collected $1,788.00 at the following locations: Walpole Post Office, Walpole Recycling Center, Tractor Supply and Shaw’s. Thank you to everyone who donated on this day.
This Saturday, November 9, 2024, from 9:00 am to 12:00 noon, we will be at the same locations collecting non-perishable food items and monetary donations. Pet food is also greatly appreciated. All food and monetary donations go directly to the Fall Mountain Food Shelf. Donations in 2023 included over 800 items of food and $3,200 in cash. Our goal is to meet or exceed our amounts from last year. Every little bit helps.

“Pandemic Preparedness”
“Great Decisions” will meet again on Monday, November 11, at 6:00 p.m. in the Walpole Town Library. Our topic for discussion is Pandemic Preparedness. The risk of a global epidemic has not diminished since the Covid-19 pandemic, so what have we learned and what can be done to prepare as a nation and as a member of the international community? What is the objective of the Global Pandemic Treaty, and what are the roadblocks to an agreement?
The relevant reading from the Foreign Policy Association is “Pandemic Preparedness: Ending the Deadly Cycle of Panic and Neglect,” by Carolyn Reynolds. For a copy of this article and/or the meeting’s Zoom link, please contact Library Director Jane Malmberg at jmalmberg@walpoletownlibrary.org
