Week of December 26, 2014

Newtown Bee staff photos taken for the December 26, 2014, print edition.

Since 2008, Sandy Hook resident Rosemary Trudell, left, with granddaughter Haley, has organized a collection of toys and children’s clothing among the residents of Walnut Tree Village II. The collection is done for The Newtown Fund’s Holiday Basket Program, which provides gifts and other items that will make lives brighter for some of Newtown’s families in need. On December 11, Rosemary and Haley vis-ited residents of the condos on Walnut Tree Hill Road to collect items that were being donated. Spread out around them are many of the books, games, toys, warm clothing, athletic equipment, and gift cards that were donated this year. The Trudells then made sure everything was delivered to Fraser-Woods School for Depot Day, when donations from all groups, families, churches and businesses are all collected, sorted, and delivered to recipients. Depot Day was Saturday, December 13. (Hicks photo)
