For the first time in 20 years the BFA Girls' Cross Country Team won first place in the Division III state meet. Six of the first twelve runners to cross the finish line were BFA Fairfax girls, led by Megan Kane, Hillary Denoyers, Michelle Ambrisco, Heather Peetman, who scored for the team. They were followed by Shannon Kane and Allie Minor.
The Boys Team finished in 3rd place in the Division III Race. The teams are coached by Fred Griffin, Thomas Pfeiffer and Cheri Audet.
The State Championships were held at Thetford Academy.

I have taken the liberty of copying this message from Angela Baker who is involved in planning for Operation Happiness. For those who don't know, Operation Happiness prepares Holiday food boxes for over 500 Franklin County families. The plans are to prepare at least 600 this year as the need is even greater. Here in Fairfax I help distribute at least 25 boxes to residents of Fairfax and Fletcher.
Rev. Elizabeth
The wheels are in motion for our CRAM THE COMPLEX food drive. For those of you who may not be familiar with this effort, we plan to CRAM the Collins-Perley Sports Complex in St. Albans with donated healthy non-perishable food for distribution through Operation Happiness for families in FRANKLIN AND GRAND ISLE COUNTIES in need during this Holiday season. This event is being sponsored by the Franklin Grand Isle Community Partnership and the newly formed Franklin/Grand Isle Food Council.
The actual food collection will take place on Friday, December 5th from 3pm to 6pm and on Saturday, December 6th from 9am to 4pm. Remember the collection that took place at the Complex during Hurricane Katrina? Our goal is replicate that community outreach effort. All of the food collected will be moved to the St. Albans Armory on Sunday, December 7th in anticipation of being sorted and boxed for Operation Happiness which will start on Monday.

On Monday I was given as a donation to the food shelf, a goodly number of grocery bags filled to overflowing. These had been collected by mail carriers who deliver mail to individual homes. On behalf of the Fairfax, Fletcher, Westford food shelf and my co-worker, Dot Root, I would like to thank everyone for their generosity. Your kindness is deeply appreciated by us.

As I walked the dog this Sunday morning, a town truck came by sanding the road. It made me realize that those men have been working pretty much round the clock this week in miserable conditions. I just want to let them all know that we appreciate what they do to kee the roads both open and safe! They certainly are the unsung heroes of our community. I mentioned it in church this morning during 'joys' and everyone nodded their heads in agreement!
Thank you all for a job well done!

The annual Interfaith Community Thanksgiving Service will be held this year at the United Church on November 18 at 7 PM. Since the United Church is the host, Fr. Rome of St. Luke's will speak. There will be participants from other faith traditions. We will sing traditional Thanksgiving songs, and music will be provided by Patti Smith of the United Church and Bob Bessette from St. Luke's.
Refreshments and fellowship will follow. All community members are invited.
The offering is a non-perishable food item for our local food shelf.
