On Thursday, December 23rd, 2010, Mr. Aaron Berthiaume, Chairman of the Public Relations Committee for the Tantasqua Educators’ Association, presented the Sturbridge REAS (Residential Energy Assistance For Seniors) Foundation with a $375.00 donation on behalf of the Tantasqua Junior and Senior High Schools’ staff. This donation will be applied toward the 1K challenge as part of this year’s REAS Foundation fundraising efforts.

In the attached photograph, Mr. Berthiaume is presenting the donation to Detective Sergeant Mark Saloio of the Sturbridge Police Department. Sergeant Saloio is the Chief Community Outreach Officer for the Foundation. The donation was presented by Mr. Berthiaume at the Sturbridge Police Department.

Additionally, the REAS Foundation recently received a $100.00 donation from the Art Students at Tantasqua Regional Junior High School. These funds were raised by the sale of “Compassion Cards” by the students and the profits were donated to a nonprofit organization of the students’ choice. In this case, the students independently selected the REAS Foundation. “Compassion Cards” are student art note cards made by these remarkable kids.

The REAS Foundation wishes to extend to members of the Tantasqua Educators’ Association, the Tantasqua Junior High Art Students and all those who have helped and donated to the REAS Foundation, on behalf of the senior citizens in our community, a grateful thank you and best wishes for the holiday season.
