Most of us are fortunate enough to spend the holidays among families and loved ones. We can't forget about those who are volunteering their time and putting their lives on the line everyday so that we can enjoy the freedoms and luxuries that we are accustomed to. So this holiday season The Connecticut Lottery and Radio 104.1 urge you to give back!!
Join Radio 104.1 this Saturday, December 5th from
10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. at
The Promenade Shops at Evergreen Walk in South Windsor, where they will be collecting items to send to our troops still overseas. Radio 104.1 will be collecting these items in the Village Green near Brooks Brothers. They are asking for items that will bring a smile to a soldier see our list below for some ideas. With each donation you give, it brings messages of love and thanks to remind our soldiers that they are not forgotten,
and that they are loved.
