Lyme Consolidated teacher, Kim Strachan, along with her family, lost all of her treasured Christmas ornaments in a house fire when she was young.
After seeing the destruction in Staten Island, she realized the same thing must have happened to many families in our neighboring state. For many of us, these mementos represent special times and traditions.
Now, on Sunday, local folks will be gathering to make ornaments and assemble starter kits for new holiday decorations for New York families. Also, donations of gently used ornaments, lights and unwrapped toys will be accepted.
Sunday, December 9th
11am - 2pm
The Roastery at Ashlawn Farm
Strachan contacted the borough president in Staten Island and he is touched by the idea and eager to accept the donations.
