Barbara Palotta Needs Our Help!!   As many of you have already heard, Barbara Palotta's house was struck by lightning last week.  Everything, and I mean everything that was electrical was fried and, needless to say, the wiring in the house has to be completely redone.  In order to do this, her house would have to be emptied of all the furniture.   Which brings us to the help...!  Barbara has rented a pod to hold her belongings in front of her house.  The house is only three rooms, so not a great deal of stuff, but it still needs to be moved.     That's where you come in!   We would like to arrange a "moving" day on  Wednesday, April 14th beginning at 9:00 am.     If you are able to come and help with this project for a few hours, it would be greatly appreciated!!  Please let me know ASAP, if you are able to be there.  You can reach me at cgosedevine@yahoo.com.    It would also be helpful if you could let me know whether or not you are able to help...thanks so much!   Carol Volunteer Coordinator  Mount Holly Community Cares   P.S.  If you have any empty boxes to spare, bring them along please!!
