More People To Thank

To the Editor:

When I wrote a Postal Food Drive thank you letter recently, I was careful to thank the many groups and individuals who volunteered to help us on May 13. I realized after it was published that I omitted some important names.

Judy Volpe, owner of Avance Esthetiques, had a wonderful idea this year. She offered vouchers to dads and their children who volunteered and worked together at the food drive. The vouchers were good for a free gift at her spa, and several fathers took advantage of her offer. It was a great idea for Mother’s Day weekend.

The Newtown Bee was also very helpful. There were several articles in the paper reminding residents about the food drive and expressing its importance. We received many calls from volunteers offering assistance because they read The Bee articles.

We accept pantry items year round at Newtown Social Services. Please call us or stop in if you would like to make a donation.

Sincerely,

Joanne Klopfenstein
