WHHS Band Benefit
Dan and Cindy Carr opened their doors at Randall’s Restaurant, and hosted a fundraiser for the West Haven High School Band. John McCarthy and John Merola brought their bands back to play and help raise money. John Merola heads up “Full Wound Sound.” John McCarthy leads the “Savin Rock Band,” show here. McCarthy has been involved with the Wimbash Music Festivals in the past raising funds for the West Haven music programs. Rock House School of Music of West Haven donated the sound system for the night. With the help of Pat Romano spreading the word about the event through numerous means, Randall’s was filled to capacity…and then some! More than $1,000 was raised.
Shelter donation
Recently children from the before- and after-school program at Seth Haley raised money for the West Haven Animal Shelter. They made sun tea and fresh lemonade and baked cookies and cakes, which they sold at their site. They were thrilled to raise $185, which they presented Sgt. Eric Primer and his colleagues at the shelter. The shelter staff gave the children a tour of the facility and explained how they cared for the animals until they found their “happily ever after home.”
Historian's corner
