Hello, Burlington!

I hope you’ve had a good week and weekend, and that you had the opportunity to observe Veterans Day over the last several days. Apologies for missing the Friday Buzz! We are still on a semi-hiatus, but we’ll be back to regular programming by mid-week. Keep an eye out for activities for the whole family in this Weekly Buzz—including the final few shows for Midnight and Moll Flanders!

The United Church of Christ, Congregational, is hosting their annual food drive and Thanksgiving meal distribution this coming weekend. You can participate in their drive-through food drive on Saturday, November 18—just pull up to the red doors with your donation of non-perishable Thanksgiving foods as well as any other canned and boxed goods. donations benefit People Helping People.
