Letters Trellis is a project to encourage people to write letters. The practice benefits both the receiver and writer in unexpected ways. See https://letterstrellis.com for more information.
At our last Farmers Market of 2021, British Penfold Letter Box came to visit today, and gladly received entries to the trivia contest. See the questions and answers at https://www.letterstrellis.com/activities/penfold-letter-box-and-trivia . The winner received a prize of notecards and stationery.
The winner of the trivia drawing received this prize:
Many postcards were written at the market, and Letters Trellis stamped and mailed them.
The postcard: This free Letters Trellis postcard features Winchester Town Hall as reflected in Mill Pond above the waterfall from Mystic Valley Parkway. Turned upside down, the postcard photo shows Town Hall as right-side up, perhaps as viewed from a curtained window. You are invited to “turn upside down” the tradition of sending a postcard from afar; instead send news from your hometown area. Stop by the Letters Trellis tent to pick up the postcard. We’ll stamp and mail any cards completed at our writing desk and left with us at the tent.

Whittier Tech students connect with Wingate residents

Whittier Tech sophomores in the health assisting program are working to stay connected and learn more about their community throughout the pandemic thanks to a new pen pal program between the school and a local assisted living facility.
Shortly after Thanksgiving, 16 Whittier Tech sophomores began exchanging letters with the same number of residents at Wingate Residences at Haverhill.
Supervising adults sign up for Letters from Little Ones.
WH SeniorLink emails the adults information to share with their children about what they might like to put in a letter.
Adults whose children are participating in Letters from Little Ones mail their children’s letters to the WH SeniorLink team.
WH SeniorLink’s social workers then review the letters to ensure that they are anonymous and appropriate, and forward the letters to individual seniors.
