5 Things (Welcome Yule!) To Start the Day, Nov. 28

Here are five things to start your day in Beverly:

1. Tonight the Friendly Garden Club welcomes the public to its Holiday Meeting “Welcome Yule” at 6 p.m. at Cove Community Center. At 6 p.m. there will be a sale of wreaths, centerpieces, and greens baskets as well as holiday boutique and raffle items. At 7, Betsy Williams will “Welcome Yule” as she shows us how to decorate our homes with fresh greens combined with fruits, vegetables, berries, cones, and nuts. Betsy’s designs will be raffled at the end of the meeting. Learn more here. 

2. Hurricane Sandy victims still need your help. Tweeting from this link, http://Rebuilds.Patch.com/, and Patch will donate $1 to AmeriCares.
