March 2021

Dear family and friends,

In 2020, due to the Covid-19 pandemic and uncertainty during that time, we cancelled our annual fund-raising drive for the Jay Shannon Memorial Scholarship.
We hope you and your loved ones are doing fine and can soon put this difficult time behind us.

We are beginning the fund raising for 2021 and this year will mark the 12th anniversary of the Jay Shannon Memorial Scholarship.

We are also pleased to let you know the scholarship award this year will be $1400. Trumbull High School is accepting student applications for the scholarship and a recipient will be announced at a later date. As in 2020, Scholarship night may be a more low-key event and right now a decision as to whether it will be virtual or not
is unknown.

All contributions are deeply appreciated; no gift is too small. Donations of $25.00 or more, receive a collectable Star Wars Figure from our son Jay’s classic Star Wars collection and donations are tax deductible. Yes, there are still Star Wars figures available. His collection was massive!

Wishing you peace and health,

MaryAnn and Jim Salvatore
