SHARE-A-CHRISTMAS
Thank you to all who donated to Boston Township`s Share-A-Christmas program. Special thanks to Terry Lumber and the Library for allowing drop off boxes. Many, many items, gift cards, and money were donated by members of Peninsula United Methodist Church and Mother of Sorrows Catholic Church. Thank you to the following for donations: Mark and Catherine Anson, Ray and Diane Hach, Jim Christ and Western Reserve Racing, Dennis Flanagan, Dave and Wendy Mayer, Jim and Kim Hammond, Jerry and Gloria Ritch, Bill and Nancy Clifton, Tom and Charlene Cooper, the Schneider Clan, and the Conservancy for the CVNP.
Organizing everything was done in our road garage. Ray Hach did a wonderful job picking up donations from the collection boxes and sorting thing as they came in. Thank
you to Dave Krusinski for rearranging his work area to help us.
Pictured below are Santa`s helpers who got everything ready for delivery. Thank you to: Mark Anson (front), Joanne and Dan Palicka, Bill Clifton, Randy Bergdorf, Charlene Cooper, and Gloria and Jerry Ritch.
As in the past, delivery the following day was accomplished by members of Valley Fire. Thank you to Chief Charlie Riedel, Assistant Chief Scott Duber, Captain Mike Packard, Lieutenant Nick Sebastian, Lieutenant Matt Levitt with sons Conner and Collin, Cassey Sabetta, Jim Paulett, Brian Leising, Joe McVey, Robert Henderson, Vince Roman, and John Gordon.

Bringing in most of the food donations, Valley Fire District participated in a Costco Fill the Squad Day. Pictured below is part of what was collected. Thanks to Lieutenant Craig Moledor for his organizational skills and to the following for working the event: Chief Charlie Riedel, Lieutenant Nick Sebastian, Lieutenant Matt Levitt, Richard Smith, Jim Paulett, Scott Reynolds, Morgan Powers, Claire Schramm, Jay Skolnik, and Dan Lowman.
2021 was such a difficult year for so many of our residents. Without all of your help this program would not be possible. I truly believe this program is best thing we do as a township.
With gratitude.
