SHARE-A-CHRISTMAS
a For over twenty years the Boston Township Trustees have
sponsored the community Share-A-Christmas program. This
year over fifty families received assistance from the
generosity of this community.
Thank you to the members of Mother of Sorrows Catholic
Church and Peninsula United Methodist Church for gifts,
knitted items, and food. The Methodist Church and members
along with Mother of Sorrows Church gave monetary
donations. I continue to be amazed by the generosity of all of
you. Thank you to Molly Wagner for coordinating the Giving
Tree at the Catholic Church. While all of these donations are
anonymous, we also received donations from Jim and Kim
Hammond, Russ and Liz Morgan, Dan and Janice Schneider,
Mark and Cathy Anson, Bill and Nancy Clifton, and the
Conservancy for the CVNP. Thanks to Craig Moledor for
organizing the "Fill the Squad" effort and all of the members of
Valley Fire who spent an afternoon distributing everything.
It takes a great deal of effort to get to the delivery stage.
This year with help from Dan and Joanne Palicka the task
was a lot easier. They helped organize everything into
categories.
Pictured below is the dedicated group that meets the Friday
before everything is delivered. Share-A- Christmas would not
happen without them.
Paul and Michelle Kaczmarski, Tom Germain, Randy
Bergdorf, Gloria Ritch, Diane Hach, Jerry Ritch, Charlene
Cooper, and Mark and Cathy Anson sorted food and gifts
prior to distribution.
