  Good morning everyone...Spring has sprung and it's gorgeous all throughout the community. I have to admit that I laughed a decade ago when people in our neighborhood were planting these little sticks that had two or three spindly branches “weeping” off the tops, but now, 10 years later, those sticks have grown into the most beautiful weeping cherry trees, and I am slightly jealous! Spring reminds me each year of how small efforts can grow, things that look hopeless can rebound with new life, and bleak surroundings can burst forth with color. If you receive this letter from me each week, it's most likely that you would consider yourself to be one of the blessed ones who is on this earth to be a blessing to others. I want to assure you that everything you do to help us to support our neighbors and community is making a big difference. We have been so fortunate to be able to partner with all of you, and so blessed to be able to see the many “coincidences” that come toge

Let's help keep prescription drugs out of the wrong hands! The Ayer Police Department is once again proud to be partnering with the Drug Enforcement Administration - DEA in the National Prescription Drug Take Back Initiative on Saturday April 27th, 10am - 2pm! Too often, unused prescription drugs find their way into the wrong hands. That's dangerous and often tragic. That's why it is great to see thousands of folks from across the country clean out their medicine cabinets and turn in - safely and anonymously - the unused medications. Annually, hundreds of tons of prescription drugs are turned in across the country and safely destroyed!. There will be collection boxes set up in the forward lobby of the Ayer Police Department. No appointment, no questions, just throw 'em in the collection box! Thanks for being part of the solution and making Ayer a little safer!

 Thank you to our very own wizard with the scissors, Lyna T.  You help us look and feel beautiful  💕

  I will never cease to be amazed by how people in our community respond to requests for help! We had three responses last week to our question about recycling. Three lovely people who all volunteered to do recycling runs for our various cardboard, plastic containers, and plastic film, so that we wouldn't have to chuck it all in the dumpster. I am so happy about that! As I explained last week, we are working towards being as close to zero-waste as an organization like ours can possibly be. While it might be better if the foods we buy didn't have all the packaging in the first place, that's just not the reality, especially when we try to buy in bulk. Thank you to all of you who help with this project: Margaret, Laurie, John, Alison, and Rich! We had a wonderful visit from our friends at the Ayer office of National Grid this past week. Mich, Sean, and Justin all came and helped us sort, stock, and pack food, and also helped with breaking down lots of stored cardboard
