On September 20, 2005 the Hawthorne Valley Farm Store will donate 5% of that day's total sales for Shop for a Cause.  This day will benefit the Philmont and Roe-Jan Community (formerly Hillsdale Public) Libraries.  Each library can greatly use your contributions.  Philmont is seeking to expand its children's and juveniles' sections, and Hillsdale needs a new furnace before winter sets in.  Plan ahead and "save up" to make as many purchases as you can on that day!  You'll be contributing to a terrific cause and helping these valuable members of our communities.  For more information please visit their website at www.hawthornevalleyfarm.com.
