GOOD NEWS EVERYONE!   

As promised, I said I would do anything I could to have those trees replaced ASAP and I did-- I reached out and I have been given six trees to be planted at St. Mary's!  I will be given 6 shade trees, preferably Liberty Elms or Sycamore trees from Tom Gilbertie of Gilbertie's, 7 Sylvan Lane in Westport and Scott Jamieson, owner of Oliver's in Fairfield. I will coordinate the planting with the parks dept. and the donors.
