Masuk FBLA Personal Care Drive

The Masuk Chaper of the Future Business Leaders of America will be collecting personal care items for the underprivileged in Bridgeport, CT from December 3, 2012 to January 18, 2013.

We will be working with Mrs. Ann Marie Tarinelli who has been distributing food, clothing, and other necessities to the underprivileged for ten years. Last year Masuk FBLA collected over 200 blankets for Mrs. Tarinelli's cause and this year we are aiming to make 200 personal care bags each filled with shampoo, soap, deodorant, toothpaste, a toothbrush, and a pair of socks. We are collecting small or travel sizes (excluding socks and toothbrushes). If you have any questions, please email Mrs. Costello at lcostello@monroeps.org or call her at 203-452-5823 ext. 7414. Please consider donating to this worthy cause and giving to the less fortunate in our own community!

There will be collection boxes at Masuk High School and Dr. Joshua Baum Orthodontist office at 241 Monroe Tpke., Monroe CT. Masuk's Future Business Leader of America students GREATLY appreciate the support of Dr. Baum in this endeavor!

Thank you everyone for your comments. Carl - will try not to be offended by your "anyone withRead More half a brain" comment. I am dismayed to hear Dawn that you have made this effort and been turned down by the town and police department (it's not uncommon for me to see the police speeding up and down Moose Hill Road too!) Glad to hear, though, that I am not alone in seeing a need for people to get a grip on the road. Slow down. Hang up. Comply with stop signs and stop lights. Be courteous.

I have been tail-gated so many times - everywhere in Monroe - I drive a little over the posted speedRead More limit BUT I respect the people walking (most of the time in the wrong direction) and bike riders (they too ride in the wrong direction. HANG UP THE PHONE - DON'T PIGGY BACK thru a stop sign, and learn the right of way rule. AND STOP SIGNS mean S T O P!!! Robin lane people are good for running stop signs. And Pepper Street is 25 mph - NOT 45 or 50!!! Walkers & runners FACE TRAFFIC - Bike riders RIDE WITH TRAFFIC. AND one more thing - don't block the drive ways if there is a stop light - and someone coming in or out - let them and move on. THANKS for letting me get this off my chest!!!!!

Good luck Laura, My husband and I tried to get some on Purdy Hill Road from Rt.111 to Rt.25. theyRead More said they can't do it. I have asked numerous times to have a police officer sit in Farmview or use our driveway, said it's too dangerous, go figure. Tired of drivers around town having no respect for other drivers and people walking on side of road. It gets to the point that I don't even want to leave my house. Get a clue people slow down, stay off phones, it's not hard.
