Christmas Bazaar At Home For Aged By Betty Sullivan
The Home for the Aged at 115 Record Street hosts a Christmas bazaar on Wednesday from 1:30 to 5 and 7 to 9 P.M. to raise funds for a new infirmary. Residents, staff, board members, and donors prepared crafts, gifts, plants, cakes, and antiques for display across the first floor, with sales led by several committee members. The annual sale, begun in 1949, previously raised funds for medical facilities, and the community continues to support modern infirmary construction to free living rooms for guests.
