I received this e-mail for a public service announcement. This annual food drive is even more important this year, with the sad shape of the economy and high unemployment. Please give freely when they knock on your door.
"On behalf of the Bayview Community Council, could you please include in your upcoming column(s) for October, something that would address the following information?
Food Drive For Athol/Careywood/Bayview Food Bank
The Bayview Community Council is coordinating a one day Food Drive for the Food Bank on Saturday, October 17th. Council members will be conducting a door-to-door collection on that day.
Desperately needed items include canned food, canned meats, peanut butter, boxed meals (macaroni and cheese, scalloped potatoes, etc.), soups, cereals, and diapers. Monetary donations are always welcome.
If you are missed, donations can be dropped off at Marlys Bladgens on Merriweather Rd. (first road on the right, just past the Post Office, last house on the left), or bring your donations to the October 27th Council meeting, Oktoberfest at the Center on October 16th, or to the Food Bank directly.
The Council thanks you for your contributions."

Thank you all from the council for the effort and donations to the ABC Food bank. It has come at a time, as we all know, many people are out of work, and the need is great in this area, seems more everyday and you have helped considerably
Thanks again
