At the Richmond Hill South Civic Association’s October meeting, members gathered toiletries to support the nation’s soldiers as part of a joint project with the American Legion Auxiliary #958 in East Rockaway.
When civic members learned of the project from the auxiliary’s president, Mary Hansen Sterger, they were eager to help. This Monday, civic President Margaret Finnerty and her husband delivered eight large boxes of supplies with the help of the civic and friends from the city Department of Education.
“I am very happy to say delivering these boxes on Veterans Day was a quick reminder that we must never forget the soldiers away from their families,” Finnerty said.
