The Bright Beginnings Learning Center has made a donation of $1,143.24 to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society in honor of their “Honored Hero” Scottie a 5yr old boy who is battling Leukemia. The children and their parents with the assistance of school nurse Marie Atkinson raised the funds for the donation. In addition to the donation the children made gifts for Scottie.
This is the 5th year that the center has adopted a local patient as their “Honored Hero” and made a donation in their honor. The whole process teaches the children about getting involved in the community and giving to others.
 Fire Strikes Hopedale Country Club
Sunday April 18th, Hopedale Country Club experienced a tragedy. The golf clubhouse became engulfed in flames between 10 and 10:30pm. No other buildings were affected, but the clubhouse is a complete loss. Firefighters continued to put out hot spots this morning and an investigation is still on going. So far there seems to be no suspicious activity related to this, just an unfortunate tragedy. Surrounding towns would like to offer their sympathy and support to Hopedale Country Club and anyone affected by the fire.
