So in spite of some sick Grinch stealing a day’s worth of Christmas donations, the Pastorello’s epic light show--unfortunately their grand finale--on Whippletree Lane went over the top for overall donations going to help children at the Shriners Chrildren Hospital, surpassing a record set in 2001.
Since the crusty Gazette (amazingly) managed to get the article in today about the depressing theft Sunday night and the Pastorello’s mentioned they only needed $29 to break the record I dropped off a check this morning for $30 (note to thief: It’s made out to Shriners Children Hospital, so don’t bother returning to the scene of your despicable crime.)
And I can only hope a lot more folks in Amherst got the same idea as me and dropped off a check as well.
Shriner's kids, who could be more deserving? ...probably a lot of people becuase there are a lot of people in need. Happy New Year Larry.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you as well.
ReplyDeleteYeah, there are people hurting all over the world. All we can do is do what we can.
Nice job, Larry.
