The Newtown Rotary Club amped up local good spirits this year by putting Service above Self into overdrive. Kicking off December with Angel Trees.
Three trees located in public areas are loaded with angels bearing gift requests – club members helped with organizing, buying gifts, and moving the collected gifts for social services to deliver to over 100 needy families and 26 families living in motels along Routes 1 and 13. And on Christmas Eve morning, club members gathered to prepare and deliver delicious meals for those 26 families in motels.
The club also sponsored the Newtown Santa House and Tree Lighting Ceremonies, with club members posing as Santa and his Elves to spread holiday cheer to good boys and girls. Even the Newtown Borough police department received a gift from the club: a check for $2800 to purchase a much-needed tactical vest. Ho Ho Ho and Happy New Year to all!
