New and unwrapped toys for children in the community were generously donated. Tax deductible monetary donations were also accepted to acquire college books for students faced with the high cost of text books.
Michelle Bettigole, Executive Director of the Connecticut Retirement Community told ConnecticutPlus.com that she was delighted to have its residents, guests and associates contribute to this holiday toy drive. “All of us at The Watermark at East Hill would like to extend a big thanks to those who participate in the toy drive, helping to make the holidays special for those in need.”
