Rye Y Gift Drive to Benefit the Carver Center

Add information on your local gift, toy or food drive in the comments.

From the Rye Y calendar:

Every year members of the Rye Y help support our neighboring community-in-need in Port Chester.  The Carver Center manages a large community gift-giving drive in which over 600 Port-Chester families, that couldn’t afford a gift otherwise, are able to choose a toy, coat, gloves, new clothes and other items for their children.  We ask that you help us in our continued support for these 600 families.

 How Can You Give?

Bring an unwrapped gift to the Rye Ys drop box in the lobby.  The following are some basic guidelines:

- Toys and Games for children up to 11 years old

- Gift Cards to major department stores for tweens/teens 12 through 16 (hand directly to the front desk)

 Deadline is December 13th

Just a short thought to get the word out quickly about anything in your neighborhood.
Share something with your neighbors. Write a new post... What's up? Make an announcement, speak your mind, or sell something

Let's look at the appropriateness of this post. First, it's clearly an ad because it points to aRead More specific insurance agent at a specific agency to contact. Second, it attempts to hide being an ad behind what may be useful information (or not). Third, the "person" who posted it doesn't use their real name. Instead, they use a pseudonym Divorce Information NOW. That doesn’t seem terribly reassuring to me. This the third advertising post on the “announcements” space since Rye Patch converted to the new site layout. Seems a bit of a mess to me. But hopefully someone will come along and figure out who the real poster is, their link to the advertised agent and agency, and then delete the post. After all, if it’s an ad, it should be labeled as such and the poster should pay for having it run. If that doesn’t happen, Patch won’t be able to pay its employees to keep real content on the site.
