"Thanks to all who stopped by at the iced tea stand today on Thompson Av and Iver Ave. Special thanks to Isabella Pilato, Michael Pilato, RJ Higham, Rebecca Albert, Sydney Herard and Marley Herard for doing this very kind thing for the plane crash victims family. They collected $104 and gave it to us at the firehouse. We will make sure it gets to the proper fund."
