Week of December 26, 2014
The Frasier Woods School was buzzing with activity December 13 as Boy Scouts and leaders from Troop 370 at Newtown UMC joined residents and volunteers from The Newtown Fund either dropping off or delivering toys, gifts, and food to residents in need during the annual Depot Day event. Dozens of referrals through the town’s Social Service Department or local clergy were gladly accepted by residents like Stacy White, pictured with volunteers loading a delivery for a mom and two teens her family “adopted” for the holidays. Scouts Matt Tassiello and Jacob Markowsky also assisted All-Star bus company staffer Joe Colangelo who was dropping off donations for two local families receiving holiday gifts and food collected by local bus drivers.

![After the shooting at Sandy Hook School, Elizabeth Vaughn, daughter of a Newtown Board of Educa-tion employee, saw a picture circulating from Karachi, Pakistan, with children lighting candles next to a sign that read, “Connecticut school killing, [we] feel [your] pain as [you] would feel our pain.” So when she learned about the devastating school attack in Peshawar, Ms Vaughn quietly organized a candle-light vigil that featured messages in Urdu translated onto posters by a Pakistani acquaintance. About two dozen friends and Sandy Hook Elementary School community members gathered for the brief memorial Friday, December 19, in Sandy Hook Center.
