Donations sought for mitten tree

The Amherst Museum is now accepting new hats, gloves, scarves and mittens to decorate its mitten tree.

Free admission to the museum will be given in exchange for a donation.

All contributions will be donated to the children at Buffalo School No. 45.

This year the museum will also be collecting books for the school's library. Books suitable for children in kindergarten through eighth grade, or cash contributions, can also be left at the mitten tree.

The staff of the museum will deliver all contributions to the school after Dec. 31.
