Generous Community
The Putnam Police Department saw a great collection year in its Stuff-a-Cruiser challenge last week. Police Chief Christopher Ferace said “The Putnam community and the northeast’s generosity never ceases to amaze me — .another really successful Stuff-a-Cruiser challenge this year.” He said the department collected more than $3,300 and filled The Chevy Cruiser twice. Every toy and dollar collected goes to the Putnam Family Resource Center. Ferace said this is one of the department’s best years since starting in 2018.

Totals rising for Interact’s - last chance to help this weekend
PUTNAM — Dec. 13 might have been another cold day for the Putnam Rotary Club’s Interact Club and their friends to be out bell ringing for the local Salvation Army office, but that didn’t stop them from raising money.
Despite the cold many of the students were dancing and singing Christmas carols to bring cheer and keep warm. And Rotarian Roberta Rocchetti, Interact advisor, said “Again we saw so much generosity from our community.”
She said the kettles took in more than $2,000 bringing the total for the campaign to over $8,000 so far. She added that 90 percent of the money raised stays in northeastern Connecticut.
There’s one week to go.
Interact Club members and friends will be at Putnam Stop & Shop, Putnam Walmart, Putnam Price Chopper and Putnam Supermarket from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Dec. 20 for the last time this year.
Rocchetti thanked student volunteers; Bella Stillitano, Emma Raymond, Miranda Miller, Kiley Elliott, Greysen Dery, Brayden Bottone, Kaylee Bundy and Avery Grant from Woodstock Academy; from Tourtellotte Memorial High School: Calleigh Levesque, Matthew Rybacki, Joshua Tackson, Tyler Parkin, Caue Sarto; and, from Putnam High: Gabby Cerasiello, Paige Perry, Avery Thornton, Lily Macpherson, Avery Meyette, Leah Benzie, and Kaydence Morris. She also thanked Rotarians Joseph Adiletta, Mike and Roberta Rocchetti; and she thanked Leo Rocchetti from Stafford Springs.
