As a Newton resident, you’ve been part of the tremendous outpouring of generosity in response to the story of the Jeff and Elinor Beatrice Family situation. At this writing, we are in the final back and forth on the paperwork involved in the purchase but are confident of a successful outcome in the near future.
This remarkable outcome is a tribute to the generosity of the entire extended Newton community and beyond, and has included many concerned individuals like you. We on the Beatrice Family Committee cannot say thank you loudly enough, often enough or creatively enough. Some of you have requested anonymity, and we will honor those requests. Others we will thank specifically at the upcoming Dinner Dance and Auction to be held at the American Legion Nonantum Post 440 on February 6th. http://beatricefamilyfund.blogspot.com/
Please be sure to join us at what should be a tremendous celebration and an event that is certain to provide you with a warm glow even in the depths of Winter! Elinor and all 11 kids will be there, you’ll hear about some of the folks who gave of their time and treasure and you’ll have, we hope, a little bit of your faith in mankind restored or enhanced.
We will also launch the new Onew Newton Foundation on this night to 'pay forward' the generosity we've all been so fortunate to witness. You can learn more here: http://onenewton.org/
Thanks again, we hope to see you all on the 6th. Please feel free to bring a friend!
Best,
For the Beatrice Family Committee,
Matt Kenslea
