Tootsie Roll Drive - Campaign for People with Intellectual Difficulties
The drive will take place from Wednesday, Sept 13 to Sunday, Sept 17. We have received permission from the state to solicit at the Wine and Liquor Store all five days. Pete and Joe Prococini will be calling and emailing the members to help solicit for two hour time slots at the store fronts in Salem.
Pete made mention that this drive raises funds for Salem programs for "Helping People with Intellectural Difficulties" and on the days of the campaign, many of these folks turn out and help raise funds. And they do a very good job at it!
A special shout out to Bill Silvestri, who wrote the application letters to the stores from his vacation spot in Florida. (I don't know Bill's travel plans for this year, but in the past he has shown up on the first day and stayed to the last day working full day shifts. I think he camps out in the boat tent and never leaves the lot for the week. - ed)
