Charity challenge paying off

Press Christmas for All just deposited today's receipts of $16,600 - a banner day in the 25th annual fundraiser. That puts the amount raised so far at $104.023.11.

"Anonymous in Athol" has challenged the community to reach $120,000 by the end of the day Friday. If we can hit that, AinA will pitch in $10,000.

This year's goal is $200,000. The deadline is Christmas Eve. - Mike Patrick
