Happy Spring!

This past month - thanks to the great PR work by HNN member Christel DiPippo - Girl Scout Troop 70612 recognized the contribution that Holliston Newcomers & Neighbors makes to our community as they had just completed the GS Philanthropy lessons about volunteering. I attended their April meeting to talk about why & how I volunteer as well as highlighting how HNN does what it does and how they have been helping us all along as well as enjoying the benefits.

So many Holliston kids attend all or some of the HNN fundraisers but do they really know that the price of that ticket is what makes the summer concerts & library museum passes possible? It was great to help the girls see how helping others starts with some hard work - like organizing a fundraiser or selling cookies - but ends up with the satisfaction that you made someone else’s day - like our grant recipients and their cookie sales recipients.

So how can you help HNN help others? You can spread the word, get your friends & neighbors to join HNN, and the real key to our success - get involved! Take a look on the HNN website (Holliston Newcomers & Neighbors - Board Positions) and see what opportunity suits you. Email hnnexecutiveboard@gmail.com if you have any interest or questions!
