Columbia and Lebanon Girl Scouts have organized a Fill-a-Truck event from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, March 9 to benefit the Cookies for Heroes Program.

The Scouts ask your help with filling a truck with boxes of Girl Scout cookies to be sent to service men and women overseas.

The truck will be parked at the Lebanon Green. The cost is only $4 per box, or $48 for a case of cookies.

Connecticut Girl Scouts have set a goal of filling a truck with 120,000 boxes of cookies by this April. As of this posting, they are slightly more than half way toward that goal.

The Board of Selectmen had scheduled a termination hearing Tuesday (April 10) at a special meeting, but it was cancelled at the last minute. When asked why, Columbia First Selectmen Carmen Vance said “there was another incident,” and declined to provide details.

A tax sale, at which properties being sold for unpaid back taxes will be auctioned, will be held beginning at 11 a.m. on Wednesday, May 1, 2013 at Yeomans Hall (part of Columbia Town Hall building).
