Fairhaven Advocate Newsletter:

• The November and December editions of the Fairhaven Advocate Newsletter were finalized yesterday.
• If you have an email address, you would have received the newsletter via email – a new development for us.
• Moving forward, we aim to collect email addresses for individuals not currently on our list.
• For those who prefer a printed hard copy, this option will remain available.
• Transitioning to email newsletters saves time and is more eco-friendly, reducing paper usage, toner consumption, and postage costs.
• Your support in receiving the email version is appreciated.
