We’re in the homestretch of another successful “Adopt-a-Family” partnership with our friends at Circles of Mercy, the family aid organization.

Project coordinator Bill Dowd dropped off the first load of donated gifts at Circles this morning, then headed for the dropoff point at Drumm Veterinary Hospital (today was the deadline for depositing gifts there) and nearly filled his car again. He’ll be posted in the parking lot of the former Quigley’s restaurant to accept last-minute donations from 6 to 6:30 p.m. Friday.

If you’re among the last-minute donors, please remember to gift wrap all donated items and label them with the name of the intended recipients.

A sincere thank-you to all who got involved in this year’s drive to help the Burnett and Fitzgerald families. Their holidays will be much more enjoyable thanks to the generosity and good will from members and friends of SRC.
