Letter to the Editor: Help Support the Berlin Children's Fund

Dear Editor,

This year the Berlin Children’s fund will be celebrating our 45th year of raising funds for Berlin families who could not otherwise afford the full cost of a two-week camping experience for their children.

The Berlin Children’s Fund volunteer committee would like to thank the Berlin Community for providing these children over the years the opportunity to make new friends, enjoy the great outdoors, learn new skills and create lasting childhood memories.

Please join our celebration this year by making a tax deductible contribution to the Berlin Children’s Fund. All donations are appreciated and used for camperships only.

The committee will also be holding a Tuesday Night Bill Pizza fundraiser to raise additional funds on Tuesday, June 23 and Tuesday, June 30 from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. Put your sales receipt in the special basket and a percentage of these slips will be given to the Berlin Children’s Fund.

Hope you can join us. Together as a community we can make this happen.

Donations can be sent to Berlin Children’s Fund, 240 Kensington Road, Room 12, Berlin, CT 06037.

Families in need of assistance may contact Doug Truitt,Community Service and Youth Service Director, 240, Kensington Road, Berlin CT dtruitt@town.berlin.ct.us or call 860-828-7059.

With Warm regards and appreciation.
