Voting For Beautiful Babies

To the Editor:

First and foremost, we would like to give a very special thank you to Randy Muller, who designed and built  our beautiful wooden voting booth. Quite a feat of imagination and  engineering; and a prime example of American know-how and ingenuity.

Thank you also to Jerry  Salvatore of Stop & Shop Supermarket, The Sandy Hook Volunteer Firehouse,  and Relay For Life to allow our voting booth to be placed at their  locations.

Contributions to the winner’s Family Fun Basket of prizes were generously made by Nina Nail Spa, Dental  Associates, Shaolin Martial Arts Studios, The American Museum of Natural  History, The Bruce Museum, The Aldrich Museum of Contemporary Art, Edmond Town Hall Movie Theater, The Beardsley Zoo, The Newtown Bee, Lexington Gardens, The  Adam Broderick Hair Salon, Target, C&C Unisex Hair Salon, Dunkin’ Donuts, Fun Kuts, Planet Beach, Cynthia McIntyre Photography, Staples of  Danbury, and the Military Museum of Southern New England.

Last, but not least, we’d like  to thank all the voters and all the families of the Beautiful Babies who  participated in our fundraiser. Without your support, this charity event would  not have been possible. To the Babies: you are all beautiful, and you are all  winners. Godspeed to all of you as you make your way in the wonderful world!

Thanks again to everyone who  helped us make this event successful.

 Sincerely,  Lois Barber
