NEWS Car Wash, Saturday
Members of this year’s Newtown Ecumenical Workcamp Servants (NEWS) team are planning their final fundraiser before heading to Puerto Rico at the end of the month.
Young adults and their chaperones will be offering car washes on Saturday, June 4, at Berkshire Motores, 25 Berkshire Road (Route 34, opposite the Newtown High School entrance).
The event is planned for 10 am until 2 pm.
Donations will be gratefully accepted.
The group has been planning a service trip to Puerto Rico since 2020, but has twice postponed their plans due to the COVID-19 pandemic. While travel was impossible during the summer of 2020, young adults last year participated in local projects coordinated through Community Caring Center in Bridgewater.
NEWS will be traveling 1,500 miles at the end of this month, to the Island of Enchantment, for a seven-day work trip.
