The turnout for the Parishwide Planning Workshop held at Hemingbough last week was just spectacular. The importance of community involvement in this process can not be overstated. I'm looking foward to Fregonese Associates' return visit where I hope to see the 3D "Fly-Through" videos of how our plans might look once implemented. You can view some of their "Fly-Through" videos for other cities, towns and communities by clicking the following link:

I'm not sure how smoothly I can segue from hi-tech savvy to old fashioned fun, but for my family, this weekend is all about Christmas in the Country. It's one of our "new" family traditions -- strolling over to Town Hall on Friday evening to hear the First Baptist Church Children's Choir, watching Mayor L'Aquila light the Town Tree, and we all just love the fireworks that come next. The annual Christmas Parade sponsored by the Women's Service League is the undisputed highlight of Saturday's festivities. Even so, the whole day is booked solid, starting with breakfast with Santa, followed by one activity, event or performance after another.
I must also report that this will be my last newsletter. I have loved being the Chamber's Director, and above all, writing this newsletter. The Chamber has strong leadership in Miles Higgins, a wonderful and truly active Board, and this decision could only have been made with reluctance. Nevertheless, I have had to accept that the conflicting demands of other employment make it simply impossible for me to devote the time to the position that the Chamber deserves. But, I have truly enjoyed the time I had.
My heartfelt thanks to everyone,
Molly McGraw Porter,
Executive Director, Greater St. Francisville Chamber of Commerce
