Our Annual Meeting was held in the beautiful lower level of the Reuben Hoar Library in Littleton on Tuesday, October 24th. Delicious food was provided by Stevie’s Café in Littleton. It was an enjoyable evening of good food, good company, and recognition of the extraordinary work done by the supporters of Loaves & Fishes over the past fiscal year.
Walter Luby and Tonya Callahan performed an original song, “Loaves & Fishes” that was written and composed by Walter especially for our Annual Meeting. Check out the lyrics to the song here.
