Snye Recreation Committee Pays It Forward

Submitted by Nanci Ransom

After their tireless efforts and very hard work to run the yearly Christmas Tree Enchantment that everyone enjoys going to every year, the Snye Recreation Committee members opened their hearts and took the time to help coordinate a huge fund raiser for the St. Regis Catholic Church Fuel Fund.

On Friday night, the Snye Recreation, community members, parishioners and business owners, organized a Trivia Night to assist the church with heating costs for the 2013-14 winter seasons and raised a total of approximately $3700. The American Legion had graciously offered their facility to accommodate the Benefit Trivia Event. The generosity from all our community members, sponsors and committees oftentimes goes unnoticed and sincerely should be given many thanks for their generous efforts for community fund raising.

Father Jerome Pastores made a special announcement in his masses this weekend thanking everyone for keeping our church warm from the many generous donations received from the Trivia Night. He referred to them as "Angels of God" and was also very grateful to their side collection of $327.68 for the Philippines victims.

Special thanks go out to the following:
