Back in 1978, Louise and I started a community for abused children, the New England Salem Children's Village, on Stinson Lake in Rumney, New Hampshire.  A decade later we added a school to the property, the Hunter School, for ADHD kids.  Both are 501(c)3 charities and all contributions are tax-deductible.  And both are doing wonderful work with very, very needy children, and doing it on a shoestring because state payments for kids in care are both being cut and often being paid months late.
They need your help - whether it's $25 or $50 or more.  With Salem and Hunter, ALL of your donation goes directly to the program and the children.  As this tax year comes to an end, please consider www.salemchildrensvillage.organd/or www.hunterschool.org in your holiday giving.

Warm holiday wishes and Happy New Year,

Thom
