Tuesday night I had the privilege of hosting my annual backpack drive at Millhaven in Lawrence. This is the 4th year I have had the ability to do this on conjunction with the Merrimack Valley Chamber and local business community. Every year it has grown and I am proud to be a part of that. All backpacks and supplies were donated to the Lawrence YMCA. Thank you to all who came out and participated, those who donated before hand, and others who supported in any way possible. I look forward to next year!!!
