More than 100 items contributed by attendees of our annual Terrace Holiday Luncheon will help make the winter a bit warmer for many people.
The luncheon at McGreivey's Restaurant earlier this week was attended by more than two dozen Terrace residents. It was arranged by Janise Dessingue with the assistance of Anne Hunter and Janet Fowler, and was the usual enjoyable social event. However, we always like to make an impact on the giving side of things as well.
So, as has been the case for several years, the Sidewalk Warriors of Troy organization was the recipient of our gifts. They included:
- 77 pairs of gloves
- 10 pairs of handwarmers
- 10 pairs of socks
- 8 hats
A thank-you note to the Terrace community from Sidewalk Warriors President Robin Fontanelli reads:
"Thank you for your generous donation of hats and gloves. ... Donations like yours are vital to our success. Please know many people will be warm this winter because of your donations.
"With generosity like yours we can continue to support our friends in need and we sincerely thank you."
