Lynnfield Student Making Public Service Contributions

Note: The following information was submitted by a Lynnfield Patch reader:

Governor Deval Patrick recently held two conference calls with his Project 351 student ambassadors across Massachusetts to participate in a National Day of Service on September 11, 2011- the tenth anniversary of the September 11 attacks.

Curtis Craffey, a graduate of , is the town of Lynnfield’s 2011 representative on the governors Project 351 team.  Curtis served in Boston in April for a day of service with the Governor, was a volunteer for the Lymphoma Research Foundations Lymphomathon, and provided birthday supplies for children living in shelters or motels with his Destination Imagination team through the charity Birthday Wishes.

This year’s Tenth Anniversary Rememberance will be a unique opportunity to rekindle that spirit of humanity and patriotism. As a national community we will honor the sacrifice of those who were lost and pay tribute to those who answered the call to serve in response to the tragedy of 9-11. 

In addition to helping Lynnfield’s 9-11 Committee, Curtis has a goal of providing 100 pairs of “non-elastic” white socks for the 450 veterans that live at the Chelsea Soldier’s Home.

“Every community is home to a veteran. Some bravely served during World War II, many have defended our freedoms in the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, and countless others have demonstrated courage and leadership in historic wars around the world” said Craffey. 

Anyone wishing to support our veterans and help Curtis reach his goal can contact Curtis at 617-429-4867 or email at coolcurtis@aol.com for drop off and or pick up details.
