Princess And The Prom, Really Rockin' Reading, And Granby Zoning Board of Appeals

Today is Tuesday Feb. 15, 2011 and there are 319 days left in the year.  The National Weather Service has issued a wind advisory for most of the state today.  The temperature will reach a high of 24 degrees in the Granbys today, but tomorrow we will see another warm, sunny day with temperatures in the mid-40's.

Have an old homecoming or prom dress taking up space in your storage room? From Feb. 15 until Mar. 15 you can donate your lightly-used dresses to Princess and The Prom, a Granby-based charity that provides prom dresses for young women across the state that can't afford one.  The Farmington Valley YMCA will be accepting dresses along with many other businesses across the region.  For a complete list of drop-off centers visit the Princess and The Prom website.

Stop by the Granby Public Library this evening for The Really Rockin Reading Group.  The group meets on the third Tuesday of the month in the children's program room from 4 p.m. until 5 p.m.  This particular group is geared for children in the 5th, 6th and 7th grade, librarian Ruth Crutchley will lead the group. Books are available at the library. To sign up call 860-844-5284.

The Granby Zoning Board of Appeals will meet tonight at 7:30 p.m. in the town hall meeting room.  The Board will hear an appeal by Valley Office Trust seeking a variance to existing side-yard requirements to allow for an additional building to be built on the property at 29 Hartford Ave.
