To the Editor:

Who couldn’t do one thing for one hour?  I think all of us could answer that we all could do almost anything for an hour!  Thanksgiving is next week – and right after that we begin going into holiday mode, which to me brings to mind helping one another.

The Salvation Army once again will have their bell ringing weekends beginning Friday, December 12th and Saturday, December 13th, Friday, December 19th and Saturday, December 20th. Ninety percent of the monies collected in the kettles in Newtown remains in Newtown.  Social Services uses those funds throughout the year to help many Newtowners’.  We have several locations – on Friday nights we are ringing from 4-8 at S&S (both sides), Yankee Wine and Walgreens.  On Saturday’s we ring from 8-12 at Dunkin Donuts, Yankee Wine from 12-4, Walgreens 8-4.  

If you’d like to help, please call me at 203-426-1035 (H), 203-417-3004 (C) or e mail me – aroosterw@yahoo.com.

Thank you,

Anna Wiedemann and Steve Bennett
