Eagle Scout Candidate Thanks Community

Durham Boy Scout Matt Amendola held a Fried Dough Dinner on Thursday, July 16 at the United Churches of Durham.

I would like to thank the community, friends and family for coming to my Fried Dough Fundraiser on July 14th to support my Eagle Project.

We had a great turn-out and everyone enjoyed the food.

A special thank you to the following for going above and beyond.  Mrs. Pedersen, Mr. Pellegrino, Mr. Morro, Ametek Specialties, and to Mr. Hayes at Patch.com, the Town Times and Kelly at The Middletown Press for the extra publicity.

Mr. and Mrs. Baker, Wendy Manemeit, Creative Hair Studio, Lino's Market, and many members of The United Churches of Durham for their generous donations.

To the Scouts of Troop 270 for preparing, serving and cleaning up at the fundraiser and to the great parents of Troop 270 who donated baked goods so we can have dessert.  Also, to Mrs. Pellegrino for taking everyones order and to Mrs. O'Malley for keeping the kitchen running smoothly.

Thanks to the Leaders and Parents who were there the whole time - we couldn't have done it without you, especially Mr. & Mrs. Bates.

Lastly, my parents and family for helping me put this all together.

I am honored by the outpouring of generosity in our town.

Thanks again,

Matt Amendola
