NS News Carriers Skating Party

 

THROUGH rain and sleet and snow . . . well okay, maybe I'm exaggerating slightly. But make no mistake about it, this dedicated group is one gang we cannot live without. The boys and girls, men and women who work as news carriers, delivering the North Shore News to thousands of households every week, are absolutely invaluable. They're the last ones in a long line of people dedicated to bringing the news to your door. On Dec. 30 it was our turn to thank them by treating them to a day of skating at Ice Sports North Shore. It was a great party, complete with pizza and hot chocolate and lots of smiles. Thank you carriers and keep up the good work.
