2. Equipment needed. Did your son or daughter receive new lacrosse equipment for the holidays? Do you have old equipment lying around that you want to get rid of? Then donate it all to the Amherst Lacrosse Swap! They need your used boys' and girls' lax equipment. Donate your gently used sticks and goggles for girls, and sticks, helmets and pads for boys who are new to the sport and don't want to go to the expense of buying new equipment. The swap is held in on Feb. 13 at 6 p.m. at Amherst Middle School Donation boxes will be at SHS and AMS. This community service project is run by Connor Holbrook of Souhegan High School. If you have questions or a large amount of equipment to donate, contact Connor at laxnight@comcast.net.
