More Info On FISH

To the Editor:

Thank you for publishing the picture of Lions Club donation to FISH of Newtown.

Residents, who require a ride to a doctor’s office or other medical appointment, need to telephone the answering service at 798-5832 on the day before the appointment by 5:30 in the afternoon at the latest. FISH volunteers do not drive on a Friday. This volunteer service is available only Monday through Thursday.

The money donated by the Lions Club is used to pay for the answering service. No patient is asked to call any one of the individual drivers. Volunteers, interesting in joining the drivers’ pool, may call either the answering service or any officers of the club. For more details see The Newtown Bee Official Guide to Newtown, “Clubs and Organizations,” page 52.

Please do not call any individual volunteer for a ride. All phone calls should be directed to the answering service at 798-5832.

Thank you,

Ellen K. Parrella
