June Ferraro and Sofia Thurber, Putnam Rotary Club Interact Club co-presidents, journeyed to the Boston Children's Hospital Nov. 15 to deliver more than $400 worth of toys. The Interact Club raised $205 in donations at the Great Pumpkin Festival.
Sofia's mother, Anita Thurber and grandmother, Guiapka Kostovski, generously donated another $200 toward the purchase of the toys. Victoria Ashley, program coordinator Child Life Services at Boston Children's Hospital, thanked the club for all the toys and was amazed that adviser Roberta Rocchetti drove the club members all the way from Thompson to deliver them.
The Interact Club is now focusing on organizing its annual Salvation Army kettle campaign for the local Salvation Army office. Interact members, along with students from Putnam High, Tourtellotte Memorial High School, Woodstock Academy and Marianapolis will be manning the kettles on Friday, Nov. 29 and Saturday Nov. 30 and Saturdays Dec 7, 14 and 21. You will find them at the Putnam Stop & Shop, Putnam Walmart, Putnam Price Chopper and Putnam Supermarket. Please be generous.
