Record $10,000 raised
in PBA Turkey Drive
The Putnam Business Association’s eighth annual Turkey Drive broke a record this year, pulling in $10,000 for Daily Bread. One of the chairmen for the drive, Earl Rosebrooks, attributed the record donations to local generosity. The association members now number 211 businesses, he said. In addition, the association did a “mini drive” in the parking lot of WINY Radio. Online donations were also part of the effort.The other chairmen are Jason Verraneault and Patrick O’Brien.  All the money will be spent at Putnam Supermarket for turkey and all the fixings throughout the year.  From left: PBA President Gary Osbrey, PBA Vice President Tom Borner, Jason Verraneault, IHSP - Daily Bread President Karen Osbrey, Earl Rosebrooks, PBA Business Coordinator Jennifer Lehto, Patrick O’Brien and Putnam Supermarket owner Nick Thapaliya.
