Resolve to be a Playwright in the New Year; Enjoy Community Feast
Each day, Patch provides the nuts and bolts of local happenings with our five-bullet local dispatch.
1) Happy New Year! Begin it right with this nice tradition: the Sleepy Hollow Community Meal for all residents starts at noon on Wednesday at the Senior Center on Elm Street. Sleep late and then come on by!
2) It's hard to let that Christmas tree go and lose all that holiday cheer in your house, but it's really time to say goodbye. Come January, your chances of a house fire started by that dry dead tree really escalate.
3) Wondering about when to put out those bundles of boxes and crumpled holiday paper?
