Your cast-offs can bring joy to seniors

To the Editor:

There is a great need for odds and ends that can be used as prizes for bingo and games. The adult day-care program offers several items for the seniors who win to pick from and the coffers are almost bare.

Men and women in the day-care program would like gently-used items (pocketbooks, scarves, wallets, costume jewelry) or a new bottle of shampoo or hand lotion that you don’t want. But please don’t donate candles. Then there are the dozens of knickknacks we acquire and don’t need anymore.

All of these items can bring great joy. Please go through your things and feel free to drop off any unused items at my office at New Scotland Town Hall.
