Giving thanks 2022: What are you thankful for?
Thanksgiving is around the corner and that means it’s time for a feature we’ve done twice so far at this time of year — giving readers a chance to share what you are thankful for this year. We will post your submissions in a special Thanksgiving collection. We would especially love to hear from young people — students of all ages, from pre-K through college.

To the Duxbury Community: I am encouraging all to ask questions. I have gotten a few and have replied. I want to share those answers.
Candidate McGorry: ‘I will be for the People’
I will be for the People and the People's agenda and will not involve myself in any partisanship that we see in our present political environment.
Candidate Wood: ‘I carry the voices of all the people of this district’
While I hope that my long service to this community both at the State House and here at home has earned me your vote, the most important thing is that as citizens, people exercise their right to vote.
LETTER: Ben & Jerry’s pumpkin giveaway + food drive a smashing success
To the Community: Spooky Season is much less scary with friends like Ben & Jerry! The annual pumpkin giveaway benefitting the Waterbury Area Food Shelf was, once again, a smashing success!
