To the Editor:

Once again this year, New Scotland Kiwanis member Jerry Parmenter and his staff at Elemental Landscapes, Inc., have assisted the club with the Christmas Tree Sale; 2013 marked the 10th year that Jerry has organized this successful fund-raiser for Kiwanis.  In addition to managing this sale, Elemental Landscapes, Inc., is a perennial sponsor of the Kiwanis youth sports program.

Voorheesville Wine and Liquor, owned by Chris Difiore, has also supported this fund-raiser for several years by assisting with collection.  When asked what makes the fund-raiser work so well for the community, employee Dave Prendergast said, “People are honest and receptive.”

The New Scotland Kiwanis Club would like to take this opportunity to thank the residents and businesses in the community for their generous financial and in-kind support of our programs that successfully serve our children.
