CAMBRIDGE After a very successful first year, Cambridge Connects is once again inviting the community to its second annual Winter Outdoor party and Christmas Tree Bonfire, to be held from 4 to 6 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 7 at the Robert
Durrin Memorial Park.
“It was won-derful last year,” said Heather Sweet
of Cambridge C o n n e c t s .
“Attendance was very good.” Many people brought their trees directly to the park to add to the bonfire, she noted. This year’s event has a change of venue, since the park used last year is now the site of a skate park, she said.
“We’re excited to be able to offer it again this year,” she commented. Hot chocolate and cookies will be served through-out the event.
Village residents wishing to donate their trees to the bonfire simply need to leave them at the curb for pick up. Those who reside outside the village can bring their tree to the park to be added to the bonfire.
Cambridge Connects is a vol-unteer organization that is sponsored by the Village of Cambridge. Sweet noted that the organization has taken over many events that had previous-
ly been run by the former Youth Commission. “We try to do as many free or low-cost events as possible,” she said. “The vil-lage has been great in helping us.”
Cambridge Connects can be found on Facebook. More infor-mation about the Christmas Tree Bonfire is available by call Heather Sweet at 518-222-3171 or by emailing [email protected].

Jan. 8.The Renewal
Chorus is a small, coopera-t i v e l y - l e d ensemble of
friends who first sang together as

The concert will also showcase new and classic songs written by New England composers.
Many of the Renewal singers have traveled abroad to study ethnic singing traditions first-hand. Village Harmony co-director Larry Gordon praises the group as an assembly of “many of the finest singers among the recent graduates of
Village Harmony’s traveling teen ensembles.”
A suggested donation of $12 to $15 will be accepted at the door. For more information or direc-tions to Pompanuck Farm, visit www.pompanuckfarm.blogspot.com or call 518-677-5552. The farm is located at 494 Chestnut Hill Rd. in Cambridge.

Peg’s Angels came into being when the agency providing care to my client dropped them and left them without coverage. I started my own business to provide care for this client, who told me I was her angel. There are four of us at present and we have decided to expand, so we are looking for qualified people who are willing to provide excellent care and go the extra mile to help our clients remain in their own homes and stay as independent as possible. We also will be providing palliative and hospice care. We know in these troubled economic times that finances are difficult. We provide excellent private duty care at a fair cost, usually 1/3 to 1/2 of what other agencies charge, and can be available seven days a week, twenty-four hours a day. The business number where we can be reached is 518-796-7757. Please leave a message. We will get back to you.
