Here is another opportunity for the GREAT Cape Story by the Sea community to help out a family that has some connections with us  (and Nancy lives on Bayberry Street)

Scott and Patti Acey who use to live on Beech St. until last year, lost everything when their house was lost in a fire Sunday morning in Green Hill Farms

Clothing and contributions may be left at Nancy Acey’s at 2127 Bayberry Street     Call 481-3603  or cell 641-5403

This was the best info I have right now.  Thanks for whatever you can do.  We just don’t know what is needed right now.  Maybe we’ll know more in a day or so.
