PUTNAM — Boy Scout troop, Troop 21, at St. Mary’s Church needs winter gear and clothing for scouts.
John Ryan, assistant Scout leader, said: “The plain fact is, not every Scout has the money to buy everything they need. We’re looking for donations of the following, in good condition.”
The troop is seeking: three winter sleeping bags (we’ll take summer bags if you have them and put them inside each other); a pair of men’s winter boots, size 8½; a pair of men’s winter boots, size 11; several pairs of men’s size 6 winter, wool socks; several pairs of size 8½ winter, wool socks; several pairs of size 11 winter, wool socks; men’s wool winter heavy shirts, size medium; men’s wool winter pants, 29-inch waist ( we’ll adjust the leg length).
Call Ryan at 860-928-7241 or email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..  Pickup of donations can be arranged.

ArtsPower’s under-the-sea musical tells the story of Nugget, a minnow, and Fang, a shark, who get along swimmingly — until Nugget’s first day of minnow school. There, Nugget learns that minnows are supposed to be afraid of sharks! To regain Nugget’s trust, Fang takes desperate and hilarious measures. Nothing goes as planned. Fang is moping in deep waters when he notices that Nugget and his minnow schoolmates are caught up in some big trouble (and one very big net). Holy mackerel! Can Fang save the day and prove he’s a true friend?
