May 5, 2010 THE VILLADOM TIMES I • Page 11 Midland Park The Needlecraft School’s “Adopt a Soldier” project gained national prominence earlier this year when it was featured on NBC’s Today Show. Little did Ginny Fawcett, the school’s director for over 40 years know that the attention would result in financial support for the project as well. Last month, Fawcett was honored at the national convention of the Texas Road House restaurant at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York City, where she received a $10,000 donation from the national restaurant chain in front of 1,200 franchisees. “They called and said they wanted to give me some money to help with our proj- Restaurant chain donates to ‘Adopt a Soldier’ project ect,” Fawcett said of the unexpected windfall. The school’s children, who range in age from 4 to 17 years old, have been sewing and stuffing pillows for the US soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan since 2003, but Fawcett said she never realized the expense involved, so the contribution is a welcome boost. “We will continue making them until the war is over,” Fawcett said. The school is still seeking donations of toiletries, stuffing material, and funds for the program. The pillows are shipped to the soldiers along with toiletries and other non- perishable items, such as paperback books and DVDs (new or used), handy wipes, powdered drinks, puzzles, holiday or greeting cards, stationery, hard candy, and gum. Anyone able to help is asked to contact Fawcett (201) 444-2976 or stop in at the school across from the Midland Park Post Office, 216-A Godwin Avenue, Midland Park.
