To the Editor:
Northborough Moms and Tots would like to thank all the group volunteers and community members who participated in its recent fundraiser, in which they sold pre-ordered cookie and treat trays to benefit its annual backpack drive. In addition, a special thank you to all who contributed an extra monetary donation to this effort.
Jenn Lacasse, the coordinator of this effort, stated that $775 was raised. This year a group of 20 dedicated volunteers baked over 1,680 cookies and treats.
