In this spirit, the Rappahannock Record will print, at no charge, short “thank-you” letters from Lancaster and Northumberland residents and visitors in its Thanksgiving issue of November 26.

The letters must be brief and to the point, and the letter writer’s name, community of residence and phone number must accompany each letter. The phone number will not be published.

The thank-you letters must be brief (100 words or less). Longer letters will be subject to editing.

If the Record receives more letters than it can publish, a sampling of the letters will be published.

You may email letters to editor@rrecord.com, fax them to 435-2632, or drop them off at the Record office at 27 North Main Street in Kilmarnock.

The deadline for submitting letters is Friday, November 21, at noon.
