AUBURN — Julia Bancroft School hosted a Family Literacy Night Wednesday, Feb. 4. Parents and students were able to participate in a wide variety of games and activities designed to promote a love of literacy. The gymnasium was a flurry of activity as they visited different stations including a book corner where a Dr. Seuss read-a-loud session was held, created a story mural, starred in plays (using Reader’s Theater scripts), prac- ticed their spelling in shaving cream trays, and deciphered mixed-up nursery rhymes. Students were encouraged to dress as their favorite storybook character entitling them to put their name in a drawing to be “First in Line for Lunch” for a week. There was also a Barnes and Noble gift card drawing, and the opportunity to make a monetary or book donation to the school library. It was a won- derful opportunity for parents and their chil- dren to engage in a variety of fun activities. Another Family Literacy Night will be planned for the spring.

An Open Letter to the Citizens of Auburn:

We at Fuller’s in Auburn, have received many phone calls from our valued customers. They are asking the same question, “Are you giving up your towing and road service business?”

Our answer is simple. Absolutely not, in fact our towing fleet now numbers seven with the addi- tion of two new trucks in 2009.

We have been servicing the vehicle repair needs of our Auburn friends for over 95 years and tow- ing in Auburn for 63 years. The fifth generation of Fullers are looking forward in continuing the tradition of a dedicated family automotive business.

We believe that the “No more towing rumor” circulated because The Town of Auburn has requested bids for police ordered tows within the town. We are bidding and are hopeful that our excellent equipment, modern facilities, and proven experience will prevail in being awarded the bid.

The towing of vehicles from the many highways in Auburn can lead to complicated transporta- tion issues for both residents and travelers. Our location and facilities can alleviate some of those related headaches. We have the capabilities to repair vehicles on site which makes a sec- ond costly tow unnecessary. Also, we have a comfortable waiting room equipped with television, internet access, refreshments, lavatories, and a children’s play area. There is also a 24 hour con- venience store across the street and a restaurant next door.

We know of no other tow company that can offer residents and travelers the complete package as we can provide. Fuller’s is not just a “Go and Tow” company. We service people’s needs, and it seems that they always bring their cars with them.

We sincerely Thank our Customers for their continued support.

Chris and Josh Fuller
