Light pole Dedication in Honor of Willard J. Stievater, Saturday December 8th 845 am at McCullough Stievater Polvere 121 Main Street |

Each Year we start our annual decorating event off with a pole dedication to Willard Stievater who was a founder and over 30 year member of the CBA. Willard also started the "Adopt-a-Pole" program, decorating with greens (now wreaths) the business district of Charlestown. Please come and honor Willard at the Pole Dedication Ceremony, Dec. 8th 845 am at 121 Main Street.

DONATIONS NEEDED TO PAY FOR LIGHT POLE PROGRAM |
|
We are kicking off our campaign to raise funds to pay for the "Adopt-a-Pole" program this year. You can sponsor a pole online at http://www.charlestownbusiness.com/lightpoledonationsregistration.html. If we don't raise enough funds in the next week or two, we will be calling members asking for a light pole donation to help us continue this valuable program. Please support us by "Adopting a Pole".

Warren Prescott Holiday Sale a Success for the Third Year |
The Warren Prescott Holiday Sale was a huge success again this year. Most vendors were more than happy with their sales and want to continue to participate in the event next year. We had a great variety of items for sale and we have some great pictures below from the event. Please support these small businesses and check out their web sites for some great holiday gift items. We had over 25 vendors whose table fees are 100% donated to the school, and the school also raised money with it's own tables and raffles. Thanks to Katie Alitz, Sharon Sodergren and Holly Evers for organizing this great event. They volunteer their time to make the Warren Prescott School a better place for our children.
