Christmas Tree Sale
Hambden Fire Department is once again selling beautiful Christmas trees at the fire station. The tree lot is open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. seven days a week.
It is a very important fundraiser for the fire department, so be sure to check out the trees and support the fire department.
Congratulations
At the last trustees meeting, Dr. Bob Faehnle, director of Leadership Geauga, was our guest. He was present to announce that Hambden resident and Leadership graduate Kevin O’Reilly has been named Emerald Leader for 2016.
Kevin will be honored at the Leadership Geauga Emerald Ball to be held in March 2016. The award was given to Kevin to recognize him for his many years of service to his community and church. He and his entire family have given so much to the township over the years and Hambden is very proud of Kevin for receiving this much deserved honor.
Township Office Hours and Hall Rental
The township office is open from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday.
If anyone is interested in renting the township hall, call administrative assistant Mary Ann Dottore Tuesday through Friday during office hours.
The cost to rent the hall is $25, with a security deposit of $100. The security deposit will be returned as long as the hall is cleaned up after the event and the trash is removed.
The hall is available to Hambden residents only and there is no smoking or alcoholic beverages allowed. There is a small kitchen available for heating things up and a refrigerator to store food during the event. A sheet with all rules and regulations will be handed out at the time of rental.
The Holidays Have Arrived
What a wonderful stretch of warm weather we’re having. It’s hard to believe that Christmas is just a few short weeks away. Residents have some great opportunities to help support Hambden business owners during the holiday season.
Bryant’s Forever Green can help with holiday greenery, Christmas trees and gifts. Gift certificates are available at Mr. Hero in Hambden RediGo. The Hambden Country Inn can offer great food for dinner or takeout and snacks are always available when getting gas at Hambden Corners. The Taltys have a great business called The Nest that just recently moved to Chardon Square and is full of amazing Christmas gifts. Let me know if you have other suggestions.
