GUILFORD — Twin States Network thanks local businesses and individuals who made it possible for us to distribute Christmas gifts to 53 children in Vermont and New Hampshire who are living with or affected by HIV/AIDS or hepatitis C.

We specifically wish to thank Michelle Clark and the staff of the Marriott in downtown Keene (Colwen Hotels group), Nancy Tierra, and the Miracle Providers of the Northeast.

Twin States Network relies of the generosity of local businesses and individuals to ensure that these families are able to enjoy the holidays. Thanks again so much.
