PUTNAM — The Putnam Rotary Club’s Interact Club April 6 held its first ever Krispy Kreme fund-raiser. They raised $1,660 with donations still coming in.
Interact Club Advisor Roberta Rocchetti said the Interact Club’s goal is to raise enough money to buy a Solar Suitcase kit (a small portable generator) to give the gift of power in a developing country’s clinic or school.
Once the $3,000 cost is raised the club members will put it together and have it tested. Once it is approved, it will be sent to a clinic or school in a developing country.
Interact members were set up in front of WINY Radio, the Citgo in Pomfret, the Citgo in Putnam by Walmart and Runnings.
Interact participants were; Sofia Thurber, Serena Smith, June Ferraro, Paige Perry, Gabriell Cerasiello, Amelia Haynes, Logan Casteen, Jordyn Butler and Eric Levesque. Rotaract members, Matt Gardiner and Nick Megas,helped. Rocchetti also thanked Rotarians and adult volunteers: Wayne and Dottie Durst, Jennifer Brytowski, Joseph Adiletta, Jonathan and Keri Tremblay, Mike and Roberta Rocchetti, Maureen Bender and Adrienne Casteen.

The beauty business just grew and grew
By Linda Lemmon
Town Crier Editor
PUTNAM — It seemed there were more and more services to add on and that finally resulted in Jenn Simpson opening Beauty Haus in March in the Riverfront shopping plaza on Kennedy Drive.
The official ribbon cutting, welcoming her to the Putnam business community, was held April 5. Simpson thanked everyone who helped in the endeavor and her staff, as well.
She started the business a while ago, doing freelance wedding makeup, etc. Then she added spray tans and rented some space from a friend in Brooklyn. Then a friend left the salon she was working at and the beauty service idea grew and grew … into Beauty Haus.
Simpson said she has four hair stylists at the business, plus someone to do spray tans and she also offers permanent jewelry — bracelets are welded closed around the wrist, worn permanently. A “kind of trendy thing,” she said.
The business hours are 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday through Friday; 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturdays and it is closed on Sundays and Mondays.
