Many of you recently filed your taxes, and in doing so may have looked back on your charitable giving from the previous year. So it seems a fitting time to remember how our community gave back in 2015.
Towards the end of last year we we wrote a question on a whiteboard. The whiteboard is permanently hung, easily viewed on your way to the office from the parking lot entrance. The question read: "If you were given $1,000, to what organizations would you donate?"
Answers came not only from our church community, but the community that makes their home on the corner of Beacon and Centre Streets all week. That includes The Children's Coop, Meeting House, and the many parents who visit daily to drop off and pick up their children. Thanks entirely to your responses, the following organizations received $300 on behalf of everyone at our corner of Beacon and Centre St. in Newton!
A hearty cheers to the "little village" that is the Corner of Beacon and Centre Streets
