Hello neighbors and Stoneham businesses!

A big thank you from my children and me for making Halloween safe and fun in Stoneham.

We were part of the festivities last Saturday and helped at Stoneham TV, where Director Amy Palmerino put on another excellent party for all the kids with lots of crafts and games.

We were there accepting donations for Rebuilding Rounds Playground project and raised $174 toward buying playground equipment. A huge thank you to Amy and her crew.

We trick-or-treated near AP Rounds Playground on Halloween, and I was very impressed with how welcoming all our neighbors were. Thank you everyone for the vast amount of candy and keeping the streets safe (and clean) after Hurricane Sandy.
