The TearDrops can be purchased through the Hamline United Methodist Church and Blomberg Pharmacy.

He asked Falcon Heights residents to make an effort to shovel around fire hydrants and take a couple of extra minutes to shovel their sidewalks. Council member Talbot said that there has been talk about connecting with neighbors. Be neighborly. Be a friend. See if anyone on your block needs help. Maybe the kid down the block needs a job. He thanked the Lions Club for their $3,000 gift and suggested that residents buy a . Christmas tree from them. Council member Lindstrom said that he also wanted to thank the Lions Club. It's great to know that the money raised in the community goes back into the community. Mayor Gehrz reminded everyone that the Council meetings' schedule for January, 2004, will be different. The Council held two meetings this week, with tonight's meeting being the last one for December. Because of the gap between now and the regularly scheduled meeting on January 14, it was decided to hold the first January Council meeting on January 7 and the second meeting on January 28. She read a thank you note from Patrick Norris, a St. Paul resident employed by Hermes Floral, who participated in the second series of CERT trainings just completed. There were 21 graduates and she hopes they will be able to attend the first Council meeting in January.
