Hi Jim and Maria -- we have something similar to this in Nashua as well.  It is great that children will be able to get the school supplies they need.  Thanks for commenting on my blog.

Joan: I think that these sorts of events are really crucial for some families.  They're also a great way to get the kids back into the mindset for school.

Lynn: Yep, this one is definitely FREE!  No grown-up beverages, but you'll have money for that after not paying for school supplies :)
