As we approach this holiday season, what are you thankful for?

I am thankful for the Orange Volunteer Fire Department, the Orange Public Schools and the many people who rallied around my husband and I when a fire destroyed our home. My

Brothers and sisters in the fire department have been there for us every step of the way during this difficult time. Many people have given very generously to us and to the Kaplan Smoke Detector fund to purchase smoke detectors for Orange residents who need them. To say that I am thankful doesn’t even begin to explain how much I appreciate what everyone has done for us! I wish everyone a very happy Thanksgiving!

Sincerely,

Lisa Kaplan.
