Official Text

To the Honorable Board:

 

The Animal Control Department has received a donation of a clothes dryer valued at $418.71 from Abigail R. Powers-Lowrey, Grace K. Takvorian and Maya L. Cooleybeck.  These elementary school youth organized a fund raising campaign to raise money to purchase the clothes dryer.  Having this dryer will allow our Animal Control Department to better care for animals in their care.  A recent newspaper article included with this communication further describes this group's benevolent efforts.

 

In accordance with M.G.L. Chapter 44, section 53A, which requires a vote of the Board of Aldermen for the expenditure of grants or gifts from the federal government, a charitable foundation, private corporation, or an individual or from the Commonwealth, a country or a municipality or agency thereof, I respectfully request that you accept this donation.

 

Respectfully submitted,

 

Joseph A. Curtatone,

Mayor
