The 19th Annual Mount Washington Radio/Vaughan Community Services “Food” Drive is Wednesday, November 18th, 2020 and we’re approaching things differently this year!

Now in it’s 19th year, the Mount Washington Radio/Vaughan Community Services Annual Food Drive showcases what living in the Mount Washington Valley is all about – community, goodwill, and service.  Once again held at the First Church of Christ in North Conway, this one-day, 12-hour event helps collect donations for area food pantries benefiting those in need during the holiday season, as well as throughout the year. Many different pantries in the Greater Mount Washington Valley will see these donations from the drive helping those less fortunate in their communities.

However, due to COVID-19, we CANNOT ACCEPT FOOD DONATIONS OR FROZEN TURKEYS. Vaughan is currently working with all the Local Food Pantries to be able to get their food through donation and being able to buy food from the New Hampshire Food Bank. The money can go up to two or three times further for them when they buy food from the Food Bank and it will keep our communities SAFE.

As always, Magic 104 will still be broadcasting LIVE the entire day with a ton of help from our sponsors!

It will be a DRIVE THRU Event and volunteers will be outside ready to accept your generous CASH or CHECK donation. Thank you for understanding and keeping our community safe.

Stay tuned for more details as we get closer and thank you in advance for your donations!

Happy Holidays!

Vaughan Community Service, Inc. (VCS) was established in 1965 as a community outreach program for the First Church of Christ, Congregational in North Conway, New Hampshire, however there is no religious affiliation associated with the services provided including this event.

Monsters under the bed are no match for a boy in British Columbia, Canada, who found the antidote to his fears thanks to a local pharmacist’s concoction. Worried about what lurks in the dark, seven-year-old Jakob Garfield had been sneaking into his parents’ bed, and his mother, Heather Garfield, knew she had to do something to ease his anxiety. Years ago, Garfield’s older son had some of the same fears and came up with a “monster spray” to spritz around his room at night to keep the monsters away. But Jakob wasn’t going to believe in a home remedy. So Garfield went to the Shoppers Drug Mart pharmacy too see if they’d help with her request for a “monster spray.” Minutes later, Garfield left with Jakob’s new secret weapon — a spray bottle complete with an official pharmacy label including Jakob’s name and instructions for use.

If you dare take artifacts from Pompeii you might regret doing so. A Canadian woman named Nicole recently sent some pieces she took from the city 15 years ago to a travel agent in Pompeii, with a request that the items be returned to the park. She writes in the letter that she had experienced a string of bad luck since the theft that included two bouts with breast cancer. She wrote in part, “We are good people and I don’t want to pass this curse on to my family, my children, or myself anymore. Please forgive my careless act that I did years ago.” She sent along two mosaic tiles, parts of an amphora, and a piece of ceramic. A spokeswoman for the Archaeological Park of Pompeii says there have been about a hundred previous incidents of tourists sending Pompeii artifacts back to the city along with apologetic notes claiming the objects were cursed. The park has even created a museum to display the returned items and letters from apologetic tourists.
